The study was conducted in three radiology departments with CT centres in Northern Nigeria. Data were collected from 54 consenting adult participants (weighing 70 kg+ + + + +3) that had head CT scans. Analysis was done using SPSS version statistical software. A combined dose for the three centres was calculated and compared with the reported data from the international communities where there are established DRLs. Third quartile values of CTDI w and DLP were determined as 77 mGy and 985 mGy cm, respectively. Local DRLs that are significantly higher than most of the reported data in the literature have been established.
