چکیده
Background: The extent of the dose received by breast during head CT, needs quantification to effectively predict risk carcinoma and gene mutation. Objective: study aimed evaluate radiation a CT scan in Enugu State. Methods: This cross-sectional which involved 52 adults women selected purposively, described doses shielded unshielded breasts examinations. relationship between anthropo-technical parameters Age, height, weight, BMI, circumferences, distance from External Auditory Meateus (EAM) TLD, kVp, mA, DLP was determined using Pearsons’ Correlation. Results: mean CTDIvol, DLP, circumferences (left right unshielded) are 29.43±40.0mGy, 540.8±107.03mGy, left (4.71±2.45mGy) (5.0±2.32mGy). There were positive correlations but not statistically significance absorbed BMI (r =0.152, p= 0.291), linear EAM TLD (r= 0.032, p = 0.828) mAs 0.100, 0.492), while there negative correlation exist with subjects’ age -0.112, 0.439). Conclusion: significant difference amount low breasts. Shielding greatly reduces CT. Therefore, we recommend that shielding should form standard protocol our setting.
