This study aims to evaluate and compare radiation dose levels in various radiological procedures to ensure patient safety.
Comparative review of radiation dose levels in conventional X-ray imaging, CT, DEXA, and radiotherapy systems.
Dose values were standardized to effective dose (mSv) and compared to TENMAK and ICRP limits.
Evaluation of reported radiation doses to determine risks associated with diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
Conventional X-ray and DEXA doses are low (<0.1 mSv), considered low risk in clinical practice.
CT imaging delivers higher doses (2–31 mSv) and is the major contributor to patient radiation exposure.
Radiotherapy shows extremely high equivalent dose levels (>10 Sv), highlighting risks to healthy tissues.
