    EPX-SERIES OPERATOR’S MANUAL APPENDIX C 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. X-ray is an extremely valuable tool for diagnosing injury and disease, but its use is not without risk. This section discusses the importance of minimizing the radiation dose in children and small adults consistent with ALARA principles.
  • Page 71 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.
