Although there are scarce studies to uncover the nurse’s knowledge with regards to CT scan processes, particularly in the areas with limited resources, this study seeks to assess the level of knowledge as well as level of awareness among nurses in the region of Tal Afar General Hospital and other health facilities and other similar health clinics with regards to CT scan procedures. A numerical cross-sectional analysis was conducted with the use of a structured questionnaire distributed to 150 assigned health workers, especially the nurses.

The potent agreement was recorded in question Q1 (94.7%), while the least arrangement was found in Q14 (47.3%). While broad knowledge of CT scan processes among the nurses was sufficient, which targets training is recommended to deal with specific chasm. Enhancing knowledge in radiation protection and patient alignment can improve investigation precision and patient safety.
