Nuclear medicine is great for viewing the roles of body organs. Medical imaging in nuclear medicine takes radioactive pharmaceuticals and studies their path of progress through patient's body. The principles of nuclear medicine are different from those of diagnostic radiology. The nuclear medicine can study the functioning of body and how it actually works. On the other hand, usage of different kinds of radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine examinations can affect the dose rates. The purpose of our investigation was to estimate the effective dose from most common procedures, performed in nuclear medicine departments. We noted the injection radiation doses, which are used for diagnosis in nuclear medicine clinics. Later patient radiation doses were calculated, according to models recommended in ICRP 106.

Radiation is energy, and it is widely used in a variety of fields, especially in industry and medical science. In hospital, ionizing radiation like X-ray is an extensive exam that has been used to help physicians to have a view into the body, without having to make a medical application. Computed tomography scan uses ionizing radiation, and it is a nearly perfect diagnostic unit that allows the physician to see the picture of the human body. Computed tomography scan technology has progressed over the years, and it is an increasingly powerful and effective unit in the diagnostic radiology. Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to increase the risk of cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the radiation exposure received during computed tomography in a sample representative of the current state of practice in adult patients.
