This study looked at the radiation dose that a patient's liver and lungs received while undergoing computed tomography (CT) procedures. Radiation exposure was simulated and measured using the TLD-100 thermoluminescent dosimeter and the Alderson Rando Phantom (ART). Each organ had three scans in order to assess the impact on essential organs, and the radiation dose to which the organs were subjected was estimated by taking the arithmetic average of the three images. By offering insightful information on maximizing radiation exposure for patient safety during computed tomography imaging, the study improves medical practices and procedures.
