Abstract
With regard to potential for optimisation, small samples limited analysis of factorial influences on DAP. However, trends indicate that objective consideration of kVp and mAs, careful collimation, and matching of exposure to baby weight in neonates and to measured patient depth in children could all contribute to better optimisation. These factors are all within the radiographer's control, thus highlighting the pivotal role of the radiographer in ensuring that the principle of optimisation is attained.
