| Popis: | Background: Despite significant diagnosis benefits, the usage of ionizing radiation is not risk-free. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of thyroid cancer for children who exposed to brain computed tomography (CT) scan. Method: In this cross-sectional study, 90 patients under 20 years of age who underwent brain CT-scan were selected. Parameters such as age, sex, imaging technique, imaging characteristics, and thyroid absorbed dose were considered. We used SPSS software, version 21, at 95% confidence interval to analyze the absorbed dose and risk for each individual. Results: The mean and standard deviation of absorbed doses for girls and boys for the spiral technique were 3.954±0.393 and 4.72±0.000 mGy, and in sequential technique, were 2.282±0.461 and 1.985±0.431 mGy, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the absorbed doses in |
