Assessment of Organ-Specific Absorbed Dose, Effective Dose, and Radiation-Induced Cancer and Mortality Risk for Gastrointestinal Contrast Radiographic Procedures in North Western Nigeria

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Conventional gastrointestinal (GI) contrast radiography remains an essential diagnostic modality in many low- and middle-income countries where fluoroscopic facilities are unavailable or limited. Repeated radiographic acquisitions during barium examinations may increase radiation exposure to radiosensitive organs and contribute to stochastic radiation risks. However, compreh...
