Description

In this study, pediatric chest digital radiography (DR) is evaluated in response to the high volume of chest DR examinations and high radiosensitivity of children and young adults. The aim of the study is to optimize irradiation parameters in chest DR to have dose as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) and simultaneously obtain improved or preserved image quality.
