چکیده
In the radiological department, computed tomography (CT) scan process has become a greater radiation dosage that contributes to all medical X-ray treatments. Many studies throughout world have found CT accounts for just 5% of operations conducted yet 34% yearly exposures in Similarly, other 17% worldwide but 49% total doses Because diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are one ways optimizing dose procedure, goal this review is provide DRLs adults who undergo chest and abdomen examinations northern India, based on research region comparing with international values see if better optimization protocol being practiced. 18.35mGy index volume (CTDIvol) 765 mGy.cm length product (DLP), according review, while 18.25 mGy 1870.75 CTDI (vol) DLP, respectively. As result, examined had than compared, exception International Commission Radiological Protection 2007 publications. technology desperate need an update. region, methods, including exposure technical parameter selection, should reduce fluctuations.

Introduction: The Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) play a critical role in the optimization of radiation dose especially, in some conditions like pediatrics. They are useful indicators by which the radiologists can be aware of delivered excess radiation doses to the patients, and take corrective actions if necessary. In order to meet some requirements for establishing the nat...

Introduction: An operational computed tomography (CT) scanner is a major source of human exposure to ionizing radiation. Exposure increases the risk of cancer and aplastic anaemia. All radiation exposures should be justified and optimized to meet the clinical objective. In order to avoid the administration of excessive radiation dose to patients, diagnostic reference l...
