  • Title: [Futher means for reducing radiation dose during exposure of the pelvis in infants (author's transl)].
    Author: Kalender W, Reither M, Schuster W.
    Journal: Rofo; 1979 Mar; 130(3):355-8. PubMed ID: 155582.
    Abstract:
    A simple dose-saving procedure for the diagnosis of congenital hip dysplasia employing a diaphragm in nearfocus position is presented. Doses to the skin and the gonads were measured with a phantom for the new and other techniques. With optimal techniques the skin dose is smaller than 2 mR and the gonadal doses lie around 0.1 mR for both male and female patients. An estimate of the dose burden from undesired radiation is appended.
