- Abstract
The authors reflect on the radiation dosage of digital radiography and computed radiography (CR) metrics for pediatric medical examinations. They were critical on the exposure of patients on certain amount of radiation and its risk on children's health. The authors also discusses the importance of knowing the dose metric and equivalent of picture archiving and communication system (PACS) images, its accountability and responsibility.
