APPENDIX A
GUIDELINES FOR PEDIATRIC
APPLICATIONS
THE
PRACTITIONER
WILL
BE
THE
ULTIMATE
RESPONSIBLE OF APPLYING THE PROPER DOSE TO THE
PATIENT FOR RADIOGRAPHIC PROCEDURES. THE
PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES IS TO HELP THE
PRACTITIONER TO MINIMIZE POTENTIAL RISKS.
Use special care when imaging patients outside the typical
adult size range.
Children are more radiosensitive than adults. Adopting the
Image Gently campaign guidelines and reducing dose for
radiographic procedures while maintaining acceptable
clinical image quality will benefit patients.
Please review the following link and reduce pediatric technique factors
accordingly:
http://www.pedrad.org/associations/5364/ig/
As a general rule, next recommendations shall be observed in pediatrics:
X-Ray Generator must have short exposures times.
AEC must be used carefully, preferably use manual technique setting,
applying lower doses.
If possible, use high kVp techniques.
As the use of Grids require higher doses,
never use Grids in pediatric
exams
. Remove the Grid from the receptor assembly and select the
lower possible doses. If the Grid can not be detached, pediatric exams
can not be performed using this device.
