    Evaluation of Entrance Skin Dose and Effective Dose of Adult Patients Undergoing Chest and Spine X-Ray Examination
    (Department of physica and engineering, Faculty of science, Obafemi Awolowo University., 2023) SALAWU-ALARO Aishat olamide
    This study evaluated the entrance surface dose (ESD) of adult patients undergoing chest and spine X-ray examination at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife. It also estimated the effective dose (ED) and the probability of cancer incidence resulting from exposure to X-ray as a result of the examination. These were with a view to adding to frontier knowledge on the effect of exposure to ionizing radiation and emphasizing on the need for optimization of dose to patients.
