  • Title: Low-dose radiography of children.
    Author: Wesenberg RL, Blumhagen JD, Rossi RP, Hilton SV, Gilbert JM, Nedeau DJ.
    Journal: Radiol Technol; 1980; 51(5):641-8. PubMed ID: 7384433.
    Abstract:
    During the past five years, over 50,000 routine examinations in pediatric radiology have been performed utilizing a high-speed, rare-earth system. A detailed study of the physical characteristics as well as subjective qualities of all of the commercially available rare-earth systems was performed. Our extensive clinical experience with a gadolinium oxysulfide system is described in detail. Practical points on how to avoid certain pitfalls when instituting a system of low-dose radiography are discussed. The present system allows a significant reduction in radiation dosage with maintenance of fine to excellent radiographic resolution.
