[en] The detriment, due to ionizing irradiation, ascribable to infants and children may be as high as three times that to adults. Recent interest in dose reduction, in part associated with the advent of the Diamentor dose-area product meter, has led to several studies reporting average dose-area products at a number of centres for micturating cystourethrograms (MCUGS) and other radiological examinations. In this review the data has been further processed to yield the ICRP 60 Equivalent Doses and a detriment factor applied to yield the numbers of infants and children likely to suffer detriment in future life as a result of having undergone the procedure at the centres reviewed.
