Randomized Controlled Trial
Quality-controlled dose-reduction of pelvic X-ray examinations in infants with hip dysplasia.
Digital plain radiography (DR) examinations of the pelvis are frequently performed in infants with hip dysplasia. ⋯ The adequate evaluation of hip dysplasia in children and young adults on pelvic radiographs is possible with reduced radiation dose, by simple using an exposure class of 800 instead of 400.
