Aim: This study aims to compare the effective dose of radiation in abdominal CT scan examination of male and female patients using IndoseCT version 20.b application. The focus of the study is on abdominal CT scans of adult male and female patients. Study Design: This study used an experimental design with a quantitative approach. The research was conducted in the Radiology unit of Bali Mandara Hospital. Methodology: The study data were taken from the medical records of 30 male and 30 female adult patients who underwent abdominal CT scans at the Radiology Installation of Bali Mandara Hospital. The data were processed with IndoseCT version 20.b application and analyzed with independent t test to compare the effective dose of male and female patients. The CT scan aircraft used was Siemens Somatom Perspective 128 Philips. Result: Based on the calculation of the effective dose of the abdomen using the IndoseCT application, the results of the effective dose value of the abdomen of male patients are (10.82 ± 3.29) mSv and the effective dose value of the abdomen of female patients is (9.97 ± 3.23) mSv. Conclusion: In this study, it was concluded that there was no significant difference in the effective dose between male and female patients using the IndoseCT application for abdominal CT scans at the Bali Mandara Hospital radiology installation.
