    EPX-SERISE USER MANUAL Rev. G 13. APPENDIX B: PEDIATRICS AND SMALL PATIENTS ECOTRON strongly suggests reducing radiation dose to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) in all patients, especially pediatric and small patients, whenever it is determined that an x-ray is necessary.
  • Page 75 Protocols based on patient type; adult and pediatric patients. These protocols should be considered a baseline. ECOTRON strongly recommends that you work with your Radiologist and Physicist to determine the lowest possible dose for the desired image quality. Once patient size is selected, further adjustments to kVp, MAS, Filtration and Grid can be made to further minimize patient dose.
