Effective doses in children: association with common complex imaging techniques used during interventional radiology procedures.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the range of effective doses associated with imaging techniques used during interventional radiology procedures on children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A pediatric phantom set (1, 5, and 10 years) coupled with high-sensitivity metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) dosimeters was used to calculate effective doses. Twenty MOSFETs were inserted into each phantom at …
