However, due to the close proximity of the thyroid gland to the radiation field, this procedure can expose the gland to ionising radiation. Consequently, this study aimed to estimate organ dose, effective dose (ED) and lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of thyroid cancer from head CT scans in adults.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Head CT scans of 74 patients (38 males and 36 females) were collected using three different CT scanners. Age, sex, and scanning parameters, including scan length, tube current\u2013time product (mAs), pitch, CT dose index, and dose\u2010length product (DLP) were collected. CT\u2010Expo software was used to calculate thyroid dose and ED for each patient based on scan parameters. LARs were subsequently computed using the methodology presented in the Biologic Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR) Phase VII report.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although the mean thyroid organ dose (2.66\u2009\u00b1\u20091.03\u2009mGy) and ED (1.6\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4\u2009mSv) were slightly higher in females, these differences were not statistically significant compared to males (mean thyroid dose, 2.52\u2009\u00b1\u20091.31\u2009mGy; mean ED, 1.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4\u2009mSv). Conversely, there was a significant difference between the mean thyroid LAR of females (0.91\u2009\u00b1\u20091.35) and males (0.20136\u2009\u00b1\u20090.29) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001).
