Abstract

Aims: This work aims to measure and monitor the exposure levels for staff and patients in the radiology departments at Tripoli University Hospital and Central Tripoli Hospital. Materials and Methods: radiation survey was carries out using Szintomat 6134A Geiger counter survey meter for the diagnostic and therapeutic radiology departments at the Tripoli University Hospital and using the RADOS RDS-120 ionising radiation meter for the diagnostic and therapeutic radiology departments at the Tripoli Central Hospital. Results: The radiation survey's results were within 0.05 µSv/hr and 0.10 µSv/hr at Tripoli University Hospital and Central Tripoli Hospital, respectively; which are too low and within the levels of radiation background
