The skull has peripheral organs such as the crystalline lens and thyroid gland, which are highly radiosensitive, but the examination is performed without considering the uneven dose distribution due to the heel effect at the time of the current Skull Town's examination. However, no studies have been conducted on the exposure dose of surrounding organ tissues due to the difference in image density due to the heel effect and the non-uniformity of the dose. Using the cathode (-) and anode (+) set on the Tube to measure the scattered radiation along the Tube direction as a guide, change 30° and 37° in the cathode direction and 30° and 37° in the anode direction. It was given and investigated 5 times to obtain scattered radiation. image measurements were SNR, PSNR, RMSE, and MAE. Measurement results Measurement results of surrounding organ doses when the Tube direction was 30° and 37° The dose was low when the direction was cathodic in all organs (p<0.000). Both cathodes were higher in the image measurements(p<0.04). Continuous research may be needed for diagnostically valuable imaging and minimization of patient exposure dose.
