Abstract

This research intended to calculate skin dose (mgy) was determined in 30 adult patients. The average value of the Tube’s potential kVp range from 72 kVp To 100 (kVp) is 9.646±1.76 kVp. The average value of the SSD (cm) range from 100 cm to 180 cm is 22.558±4.118 cm, and the average value of the Tube load (mAs) range from 3 MAs to 16 MAs is 3.727±0.680. Additionally, the SKIN DOSE was from 0.06 mGY to 0.57 mGY, with an average of 0.120 mGY. It was found that the dose results were within the prescribed range of 0.4 mGy; this is recommended by international organizations that protect against radiation. Except for a few instances, the frequency of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) was higher. As a result, the skin dose to patients who have chest exams at Al-Zahra Teaching Hospital in Wasit Province was equivalent to the Global standard.
