Background Previous paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PDRL) literature reviews for
commonly performed procedures of the brain, chest and abdomen revealed wide DRL …

Full-spinal radiographs (FRs) are often the first choice of imaging modality in the
investigation of scoliosis. However, FRs are strongly related to breast cancer occurrence …

This study aimed to estimate the lifetime attributable cancer risks (LARs) from abdominal-

principles of radiation protection: justification, optimization of protection, and application of …

Paediatric patients are considered vulnerable to radiation exposure and have a greater risk
of developing radiation-induced cancers due to active growth cells. Radiation dose from a …

Computed Tomography (CT) scan examination has been recognized for its potential in
contributing high radiation doses, which raised a public concern towards pediatric exposure …
