Abstract

Introduction: Computed Tomography (CT) is crucial in medical imaging but exposes healthcare workers to ionizing radiation. It is essential to quantify and mitigate occupational radiation exposure. This study provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis of CT settings, using two radiation survey meters, over a year-long monitoring period. Methodology: Healthcare workers operating CT scanners were included. Two radiation survey meters, Meter A (GMC-300E, uSv/h) and Meter B (RAR R311516, uSv/h), were used concurrently for continuous measurement and recording of radiation doses. Statistical analysis compared data from both meters and assessed compliance with regulatory limits and quality assurance standards. Results: The study demonstrated excellent consistency in dose measurements between Meter A and Meter B throughout the year, with no statistically significant discrepancies (p≤; 0.05). Cumulative radiation doses of staff remained within legal limits, indicating the efficacy of current safety measures. Conclusion: The study highlights the reliability of Meter A and Meter B for measuring occupational radiation exposure in CT settings. The convergence of results emphasizes their suitability for healthcare settings requiring precise radiation dose monitoring, enhancing radiation safety in CT scanning and protecting healthcare personnel from ionizing radiation exposure.
