title: [Dose evaluation during radiographic examinations of the pelvis in pediatrics].
abstract: Dosimetry studies, employing a model, were conducted under the technical conditions established by one of the authors for exploration of the infant and child pelvis during diagnosis and treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip. Based on this data, it was confirmed that the dose applied to the various organs of a patient can be evaluated by using a relation identical to that employed for calculating the dose during radiotherapy. The results measured experimentally or calculated from the proposed formula, were comparable to those in the published literature. This method of dose assessment is valid not only in pediatric radiology, and whatever the region explored, but also for radiodiagnosis in adults.
