Pediatrics and radiological risk
Description
The data concerning the health detriment resulted from application of radiological diagnostic procedures are reviewed. The conclusions about higher probability of the health detriment in children are shown to depend on adequacy of a simple, multiplicative projection model for radiation induced cancers. The article calls for careful and justified referral of children for nuclear medicine tests and optimal selection of radiopharmaceuticals from the dosimetric point of view. 32 refs, 8 figs, 9 tabs
