Patient and exposure data were collected from the CT console during various CT procedures. The results show that variations in CTDIvol and DLP values were mainly because of differences in the techniques used. The 75th percentile values were set as the third quartile of the median CTDIvol or DLP values for all hospitals. These values of 40.9, 9.0, 9.4 and 16.2\u00a0mGy for CTDIvol were determined for head, high-resolution chest, abdomen\u2013pelvis and lumbar spine, respectively. The corresponding DLP values for the same sequence of CT procedures were 900, 360, 487 and 721\u00a0mGy.cm, respectively. The updated results provide a basis for optimising the procedures of CT in this country.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncad274","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,20]],"date-time":"2023-11-20T01:01:41Z","timestamp":1700442101000},"page":"97-105","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Radiation exposure during CT procedures in Tanzania"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"200","author":[{"given":"Wilson","family":"Ngoye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission , P.O.
