About

To reduce "As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable" (ALADA) the X ray exposure of pediatric radiology by using a new post treatment processing algorithm (S-Vue, Samsung table GC85A).

Full description

The study will investigate the minimum dose required to obtain acceptable image quality for different pediatric localizations (abdomen, thorax, pelvis, spine) by using a simulation tool of different dose levels. Three different radiologists blinded to the simulated dose level will score the images independently by using a dedicated image quality scoring grid.

Enrollment: 200 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: Under 18 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Children aged under 18 years and under 80 kg;
