Background: The study Assess the measurement of radiation doses indicators during abdominal CT investigation by computed tomography, these examinations irradiate the patients with a relatively high doses so the study aimed to measure these indicators and then compared the results with different literature. Materials and methods: The radiation doses indicators were measured for 29 patients at King Abdul Aziz Specialist Hospital in Taif .The bio-data (height, weight and body mass index BMI) was recorded , computed tomography dose index (CTDI) and dose length product (DLP) have been used to indicate the radiation dose ,which were displayed on computed tomography machine made by Siemens. Microsoft Excel program was used to analyze the data, in turn plotted into graphs. Main results: The average CTDIs, DLPs and body mass index BMI was 13.56 ± 3,98, 538,3 mGy per centimeter ± 193,4 and 24.2 Kg/m2 ±4.8 respectively. Also study revealed that there was correlation between CTDIs and DLPs, also correlation between patient body mass Index and DLP was found, No a correlation between the time and DLPs or even between ages and CTDI were found. Recommendations: The study recommended more studies in this field specifically for computed tomography angiogram CTA.
