Ionizing Radiation Leakage and Radiation Protection Measures

The fact of using radiation in medicine has led to major improvements in the diagnostic and treatment of human diseases. However it carries some risks of health problems. This subject has received a great concern in the recent years. The work is based on measurement of equivalent radiation dose rate in different locations in radio-diagnostic rooms at governmental Gaza governorates hospitals. These include: 19 basic X-ray 8 fluoroscopies 3 CT scan and mammography machines. The measurements were carried out by using the radiation survey meter (OD-01) since there is no obvious work have been previously done experimentally.
