Abstract :
Aim:Comparison of radiation dose in ain imaging between 16 and 64 slice CT. Materials and Methods:Sampling was done by convenience sampling method considering inclusion and exclusion criteria and a sample of 80 was included. 40 were scanned in 64 slice CT and 40 were scanned in 16 slice CT. Effective dose was computed from DLP using the equation; E=k x DLPk=0.0021 (According to European guidelines). Statistical analysis was done using Mann–Whitney U test.Result:The 16 slice CT machine is delivering more radiation dose compared to 64 slice CT for ain imaging with statistically significant difference.Conclusion:In the context of ain CT imaging using the same software from the same manufacturer, 64CT examinations provide gives a lower ED when compared with 16CT examinations
