
Correct exposure time varies depending on the age, gender and bone density of
the patient. The recommended exposure dose is from 300μGy to 600μGy when
measuring without an object.
 For general issues pertaining to all radiographic imaging systems, you should refer
to two sources for further information. First, the Image Gently Back to Basics
campaign materials at:
And second, the FDA Pediatric X-ray Imaging webpage:
