Overview

This analysis determines diagnostic reference levels in CT examinations for 2200 patients in northern Jordan, suggesting improvements in radiation safety.

Key Points

  • Diagnostic reference levels were established for CT scans in brain, chest, and abdomen areas.
  • The computed DRL values indicate 76 mGy for brain CT, 16 mGy for chest CT, and 24 mGy for abdomen CT.
  • Data was collected from 2200 patients across multiple hospitals, focusing on dose indices.
  • Ongoing adjustments and monitoring of CT imaging are critical to minimize radiation exposure risks.
