Abstract:Even though conventional X-ray equipment has been widely applied in radiation imaging for pediatric patients, lots of such equipment is marketed without regard to hardware and software features for pediatric use. And the X-ray equipment intended for adult patients is not fully applicable for pediatric patients. In view of pediatric patients’higher radio-sensitivity and radiation prevention requirements than adult patients as well as supervision factors of X-ray equipment, this paper raises the suggestion for strengthened pre-market assessment of X-ray equipment for pediatric patients.
