Abstract
Higher-radiation diagnostic imaging accounts for an increasing proportion of imaging procedures among children with gastrointestinal symptoms, even though these often are not recommended for evaluation of gastrointestinal disorders. Clinicians should be aware of these findings when ordering DIPs for gastrointestinal complaints, and clinical practice guidelines should be created to reduce diagnostic imaging-related radiation exposure in children.
