dc.description.abstractThe generically significant dose from X-ray diagnostic procedures has been determined in many countries. For the estimation of the annual genetically significant dose from X-ray radiography in Kaduna state the age and sex distributions of patients who under-went five diagnostic examinations were obtained from, X-ray depart rents of four sample hospitals. Entrance exposures to the skin were measured using free- in air method. Organ doses were then estimated using Protein's "Handbook of selected Organ Doses for projections Common in Diagnostic Radiology." Child expectancies for various age-sex groups in Kaduna state were calculated by combining the number of members of a cohort surviving to reach successive age bands of Specified duration with the age specific maternity/ paternity rates. The maximum child expectancies for the sexes were found to be 2.97 and 1.98 for males and females respectively. The annual Gs d from diagnostic radiography for five examinations was then estimated by combining the age-sex distributions with child expectancies and gonadal doses per person per examination. The annual GS D for Kaduna state was estimated to be 37.4.± 3.9 μGy.en_US
