Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) can be used to assess the radiation exposure for specific protocols and identify areas of potential optimisation. Despite paediatric general X-ray (GXR) being a relatively low dose modality, due to the high radiosensitivity of children, it is imperative that doses remain as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). This study aims to compare our institute’s Dose-Area-Product (DAP) to currently av...
