  • Title: Radiation doses to paediatric patients undergoing micturating cystourethrography examinations and potential reduction by radiation protection optimization.
    Author: González L, Vañó E, Ruiz MJ.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1995 Mar; 68(807):291-5. PubMed ID: 7735769.
    Abstract:
    Dose-area product values were measured in paediatric micturating cystourethrography examinations in two dedicated facilities. The results are compared, taking into account features of the X-ray rooms and differences in examination protocol. Several optimization procedures were simulated or implemented, in order to estimate the dose savings which could be attained. Potential savings identified in the dose-area values reach about 85% for both centres.
