Abstract

The data were collected from 350 patients, who underwent routine x-ray examinations for chest PA examination with digital imaging in the x-ray department of Alshab Teaching Hospital in Khartoum state in Sudan.

It was passed successfully the extensive quality control tests performed by Sudan atomic energy commission. The objective was to correlate between mAs and ESAK (mGy) for male and female chest x-ray. The study concluded that there was a strong relationship between mAs and ESAK, also significant correlation between Age groups and incidence risk cancer and mortality.
