Where we were, what has changed, what needs doing: a decade of progress

Thomas L Slovis. Pediatr Radiol. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

In the last decade, there has been recognition of the effects of low-dose radiation in children. A critical mass of scientists, health care providers and manufacturers of radiation-producing imaging equipment has come together to educate ordering physicians to request only indicated examinations and radiologists to achieve low-dose examinations with diagnostic images. The forces that caused these changes will be discussed.
