<![CDATA[Determination of the effective dose on the abdo pelvis and organs at risk has been carried out from the results of the CT Scan irradiation at Sanglah General Hospital.The study began by collecting secondary data from the results of an abdominal CT scan, namely the CTDIvol and DLP values. Then the data was grouped based on gender of 40 patients with an age range of 20-70 years. The value of the effective dose in the abdo pelvis is obtained by multiplying the DLP value and the conversion coefficient k. While the effective dose to organs at risk is obtained from the product of the CTDIvol and wt. The results of the effective dose in the abdo pelvis were obtained in the range of 4.596-6.738 mSv for male patients while for female patients it was 4.209-5.232 mSv. The results of the effective dose in the abdo pelvis are still at the threshold set by BAPETEN, which is 13.275 mSv, so the CT scan is still suitable for use. Average effective dose values for critical organs were 0.2882 mSv for the liver, 0.8646 mSv for the kidney, and 0.5764 mSv for the gonad. The highest dose was received by the gonads. This shows that the gonads are the organs that have the highest sensitivity in receiving radiation doses in the abdo pelvis]]>
