Protokol radiološkog snimanja torakalnih organa u svrhu zaštite od zračenja

Pulmonary radiograms are essential in the diagnostics of lung diseases of children and youth. The frontal and lateral chest radiographs represent the basic radiological examination of the thorax. Plain radiographic findings together with the presumptive clinical diagnosis will determine the need for further imaging. For the purpose to evaluate the population exposure it was planed to measure the radiation dose of children during the radiological examination of thoracal organs. In this study, the doses were measured using different thermoluminescent detectors (TLD) placed on different positions of the body. Results are shown for 50 patients divided in age groups. As a conclusion it is important to point out that X-ray examination should be performed only if detailed history is provided, that clinical and laboratory searches have been done, that a good, specialized children radiology department is available which employs well educated staff and that an individual radiological approach to every child is assured.
