Evaluation of patients’ doses in pediatric scoliosis radiography / Zulaikha Jamalludin

Concerned in radiation doses encountered in whole spine imaging was due to the exposure of radiosensitive organs to radiation particularly in young patients whom proved to be susceptible to the effects of ionizing radiations. Thus, study was conducted for comparison of patients' entrance skin d...
