Children are more vulnerable to the late somatic effects and genetic effects of radiation than
adults; therefore, every effort should be made to keep the dose as low as reasonably …

OBJECTIVE. We sought to determine the number and distribution of radiographs and the
cumulative effective radiograph doses (cED) received by a population of preterm infants …

Purpose: The aim of this research was to explore x‐ray beam parameters with intent to
optimize pediatric x‐ray settings in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. This study …

Background. A new children's hospital provided the impetus to investigate radiation dose
and image quality in a fluoroscope that was specially engineered for pediatric fluoroscopy …

Objective To present a methodology and experimental results to assess the influence, in
terms of dose and image quality, of the antiscatter grid (AG) in a pediatric cardiology X‐ray …

Current automatic dose rate controls (ADRCs) of dynamic x-ray imaging systems adjust their
acquisition parameters in response to changes in patient thickness in order to achieve a …

Beam hardening filters have long been employed in X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) to
preferentially absorb soft and low-energy X-rays having no or little contribution to image …

Purpose: To investigate the influence of X-ray tube voltage and filtration on image quality in
terms of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and dose for digital radiography of distal pediatric …

Objective: The purpose of this review is to investigate the effectiveness of adjusting
radiographic technique parameters on image quality of projectional radiographs acquired …

In the paediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory the reduction of the radiation dose of
diagnostic and interventional procedures is of high priority. Therefore, we performed an …
