Radiation dose management of pregnant patients, pregnant staff and paediatric patients : diagnostic and interventional radiology /

Whenever a diagnostic or interventional X-ray examination of a pregnant patient is considered to be necessary, conceptus dose estimation is an essential step in assessing the radiogenic risks to the unborn child. Accurate estimation of embryo/fetus radiation dose is also needed after accidental expo...
