Muhammad Usman Ghani, Kalim Ullah Khan, Tajdar Khan, Amir Bahadur, Mohammad Rauf.

Abstract
Background: The amount of radiation absorbed and measured is called radiation dose. It is mandatory to monitor the radiation dose of the radiation worker, which should be less than the internationally allowed values. A cancer center has three radiation departments: diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy. The workers in these departments are classified as radiation workers.
Methodology: The medical workers were monitored to determine their average annual effective dose using film badges for 4 years. The subdivision of Radiation Workers in a cancer center is medical Physicists, technicians, and nurses.
Results: The results are compared with national and international published data. The results of the measured Average Annual Effective dose were well below the international recommended dose limit of 20 mSv.
Conclusion: The results Suggested that the radiation safety standards are being practiced at Bannu Institute of NM, Oncology and Radiotherapy, Cancer hospital, Bannu, KPK, Pakistan.

Key words: Occupational, radiation, exposure, cancer center.
