The radiation exposures of children undergoing full spine radiography were investigated in
two pediatric hospitals in Greece. Entrance surface kerma (Ka, e) was assessed by …

PURPOSE: Paediatric radiation dose from scoliosis X-ray examinations is of concern
because of its routine nature. Few studies have calculated effective dose which is the …

Radiation exposure was investigated for children undergoing various common
radiographies in three dedicated pediatric hospitals in Greece. Kerma in air at the entrance …

Effective dose (E) and energy imparted (ε) can be used to quantify the risk of radiation-
induced carcinogenesis or hereditary effects arising from radiographic exposures. When the …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a disorder characterized by lateral curvature of the
spine and is the most prevalent orthopedic disorder in this age group. The diagnosis and …

Objective To present results of optimising scoliosis examination by changing from a
conventional film/grid (F/G) to air-gap technique using computed radiography (CR), and to …

Scoliosis is the deformity of the spine that occurs among children, mostly girls, at the age of
10-16 years. X rays are taken to determine the severity of the deformity and to decide if …

Abstract Study Design Retrospective comparative study. Objectives This study sought to
estimate the total radiation exposure to scoliosis patients during the entire treatment course …

Background Knowledge of organ and effective doses achieved during paediatric x-ray
examinations is an important prerequisite for assessment of radiation burden to the patient …

Background X-ray imaging is frequently used as diagnostic approach for scoliosis in
children and adolescents. X-ray procedures are considered as justified only when expected …
