• Image only when there is a clear medical benefit.
• Image only the indicated area.
• Use the lowest amount of radiation for adequate imaging based on size of
the child (reducing tube output -- kVp and mAs, limiting the duration of
dynamic imaging).
• Try to use always short exposure times, large SID values and immobilizing
devices.
• Avoid multiple scans and use alternative diagnostic studies (such as
ultrasound or MRI) when possible.
