Highlights
- •The study was carried out as part of International Atomic Energy Agency regional.
- •The highest median organ doses values for ≥4 procedures was 23.5 mGy.
- •The highest median effective dose values for ≥4 procedures was 8.7 mSv.
- •These values may be of interest for UNSCEAR and further epidemiological studies.
