A team of researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital has developed an age-specific dose catalog for estimating radiation exposure to children from diagnostic and interventional radiology fluoroscopy procedures. They analyzed metrics to estimate age-specific effective dose per IR procedure type and diagnostic fluoroscopy exam.

Up to 44% of diagnostic errors are due to laboratory tests and radiology exams that were inappropriately ordered, according to research published January 2 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Reducing the order error rate may minimize diagnostic errors and potentially minimize harm to patients," the group noted.
