Brief Summary : This project was aimed at addressing problem being faced by many medical imaging facilities in Africa, who do not have qualified Medical Physicists to provide professional advice on radiation safety of patients, especially the children. Most Radiology Departments in Nigeria do not have a dedicated Medical Physicist and appropriate dosimetry equipment for dose measurements, especially from high dose imaging modality such as Computed Tomography, CT. This project has led to the participation of Nigeria in the on-going awareness campaign for recognition and employment of clinically qualified Medical Physicists in medical imaging (Radiology & Nuclear Medicine) in Africa. Through this project, IAEA donated books, relevant pamphlets to create awareness on the need to employ Medical Physicist in diagnostic radiology and CT dose measurement kits for development and establishment of CT Dose Reference Levels, DRLs, for patients in Nigeria.
