Comparative analysis of radiation dose and low contrast detail detectability using routine paediatric chest radiography protocols

ConclusionsResults show considerable variation, between and within hospitals, in the LCD detectability and IAK. Further radiation dose optimisation for the four paediatric age groups, especially in hospitals /X-ray rooms with low LCD detectability and high IAK, are required.
