Rate of radiation leakage from the CT-Scan rooms has measured for 10 public Hospitals in Iraqi Kurdistan, using radiation survey dosimeter. Annual exposure dose considered as a main factor to asses risks of that leakage on the health of operators and auditors. Average leakage dose measured at the control room, table of operators, the main doors, an...

... radiation dosimeter (see Fig.1 Ten public hospitals have been selected from the Governorates; Erbil (Arbil), Dohuk, and Sulaimaniyya in Iraqi Kurdistan regions (Fig.2). Average leakage dose measured for the positions of; control room, table of operators, the main doors, and waiting hall. The data (number of cases/ year) has been got from the statistic unit for each hospital. Data analysis for the annual exposure dose has done for each position; background radiation dose taken into account. Table 1. Average exposed dose by the operators per year for each hospital measured through a control room (operator's table + indoor window of CT room). Hawler teaching hospital in Erbil city (capital of Iraqi Kurdistan) was more danger on operator's health (51.55±67.189 µSv/yr ). This due to bad machine (haven't calibration more than 1 year), and design of shield with adequate attenuation to achieve the required (or acceptable) dose equivalent (rate) limitation not ...
