I would like to thank
my supervisor Dr.Amjad khairi osman who gave me fruitful advice and supportwhich has encouraged me throughout this whole process and for this guidance and supervision.
.last but not least,I wish to thank my parents for being there,make me strong than I would be without them
The ultimate goal of the study is to estimate the effective dose of pediatric patients using DAP quantity and then to calculate the Entrance surface dose (ESD).
The DAP quantities of the pediatric x-ray machine predicted to have the main role in estimating the effective dose and then the Entrance surface dose via some equations.
