[Radiation burden in children in roentgenologic and radionuclide examinations of the urinary tract].
Employing own measurements, calculations and literary data the values of the effective dose equivalent were determined for one-year-old and five-year-old children as well as adults undergoing intravenous urography, cystography, scintigraphy of kidneys and renography. It is stated that the radiation burden of five-year old children from x-ray examinations is comparable with the radiation burden due to scintigraphic examinations of kidneys by means of 99mTc-DTPA, 99mTc-gluconate and 99mTc-DMSA. The effective dose equivalent from scintigraphic examinations of children aged one year is an order of magnitude higher than that from x-ray examinations mentioned. The effective dose equivalent for adults from urography exceeds an order of magnitude the value of this quantity from scintigraphy by means of 99mTc-gluconate or 99mTc-DTPA. The results are presented in tables and graphs.
