Digital imaging of the newborn chest.
The study reports initial experience on utilising an area plate digital imaging system to obtain portable radiographic images on newborn infants. Initial results suggest that the system is a practical alternative to conventional portable radiography with potential advantages of decreasing the number of retake films and also of decreasing radiation dose.
