| description | Regional study was conducted in 12 specialized pediatric medical organisations in St. Petersburg to assess exposure levels of pediatric patients (newborns, 1, 5, 10 and 15 years) during the most common radiographic examinations. The average values of effective doses for each age group, as well as the minimum and maximum average effective dose for the X-ray machine for each type of examinations and quantiles of dose distributions are provided. The ratio of the maximum to minimum dose values for the different of X-ray apparatuses, in most cases, was found to be a factor of 15. The average effective doses for the projection in the hospitals of St. Petersburg are compared with the similar data from Italian hospitals. |
