Abstract
This study was performed in three hospitals in Sudan to assess the
values of entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) and kidneys’ dose for
55 pediatric patients whom their ages arranged between 1day-15years,
underwent chest and #abdominal#radiographicexamination. The
essential aim of this study was to evaluate the value of kidneys’ dose
and compare the value of ESAK with the reference level for #diagnostic.
The
CALDose_X software was used to estimate these values by entering the
exposure factors Kv and mAs, the output of the machine and information
about the #patientage and gender. The dose of #kidney variated from
hospital to another in same exam, these variations due to difference in
setting of exposure factors to each patient, also to the difference in
the output of machine. By comparing these values with reference level
for
diagnostic, it was found that in some hospitals the values are higher
than the reference level for diagnostic.
