Article Synopsis
- The study investigates radiation exposure levels in medical imaging facilities in Benin, focusing on X-ray and CT scan rooms, due to increasing occupational doses from expanded radiological procedures.
- It involved 72 medical centers and used calibrated radiometers to measure exposure levels, comparing the results against established reference levels for both workers (7.50 µSv/h) and the public (0.05 µSv/h).
- Findings revealed that 13.04% of the control areas behind lead glass exceeded occupational limits, and 40% of entrance doses were above public safety standards, indicating potential safety concerns in the current protective measures.
