The aims of this study were to measure the patients' entrance surface air kerma doses (ESAK), effective doses and to compare practices between different hospitals in Sudan. ESAK were measured for patient using calibrated thermo luminance dosimeters (TLDs, GR200A). Effective doses were estimated using National radiological Protection Board (NRPB) software. This study was conducted in five radiological departments: Two Teaching Hospitals (A and D), two private hospitals (B and C) and one University Hospital (E). The mean ESAK was 20.1mGy, 28.9mGy, 13.6mGy, 17.5mGy, 35.7mGy for hospitals A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. The mean effective dose was 2.4mSv, 3.5mSv, 1.6mSv, 2.1mSv and 4.3mSv in the same order. The study showed wide variations in the ESDs with three of the hospitals having values above the internationally reported values.
本研究的目的是测量患者的体表空气比释动能剂量(ESAK)、有效剂量,并比较苏丹不同医院之间的操作情况。使用校准热释光剂量计(TLD,GR200A)测量患者的ESAK。使用国家放射防护委员会(NRPB)软件估算有效剂量。本研究在五个放射科进行:两家教学医院(A和D)、两家私立医院(B和C)和一家大学医院(E)。医院A、B、C、D和E的平均ESAK分别为20.1mGy、28.9mGy、13.6mGy、17.5mGy和35.7mGy。平均有效剂量按相同顺序分别为2.4mSv、3.5mSv、1.6mSv、2.1mSv和4.3mSv。研究表明,ESD存在很大差异,其中三家医院的值高于国际报告值。
