dc.description.abstractObjective: To assess ionizing radiation dose rate in certain Central Nervous System patients with a commercially available Geiger-Muller (GM) survey meter. Material and method: A hundred neurosurgical ward patients, patiens in intensive care unit and out-patient with 25 healty human were evaluated in this study. Measurements were obtained at a distance from 5 up to 10mm from the right side of the neck near thyroid gland for intracranial involement. For the cervical, thoracal and lumbar locations involved site were used for each individual patients. Results: An average of 0.15 mu Sv/hr radiation were found for the patients group where as 0.13 mu Sv/hr for the healthy group. A statistically significant higher values obtained in infected, hydatid cyst, myelitis group of patients up to 0.27 mu Sv/hr (mean 0.20 mu Sv/hr) (p<0.00001). Conclusion: Inflammation in CNS may cause increase in ionizing radioactivity.en_US
