Assessment of X-ray tube beam alignment accuracy in Khartoum state

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the of beam alignment of x-ray tube accuracy in the Khartoum hospitals, this study include 12 x-ray machines in 12 hospitals.the accuracy of radiation was tested and the most important results obtained that the alignment is 91.7% & misalignment is just 8.3% in along cassette, and 75% in across cassette 25% misalignment . in the central ray the alignment reached 83.3 % & misalignment 16.7%. This study confirms that x-ray machine in the Khartoum state hospitals operate at a good level.
