In this paper, the scattering influence on image quality and radiation safety because of changing room size was studied. To estimate the radiation safety in X-ray room, the exact determination of dose rate distribution inside the room and absorbed dose rate for patient is the first task. The authors simulated the dose rate distribution inside diagnostic X-ray room at Nhi Dong hospital with using MCNP5 code. The dependence of dose rate distribution on various peak voltages of X-ray tube was also investigated in this study
