Children and young adults under 21 have different anatomy, disease processes, and emotional and physical needs when compared to adult patients. The epiphysis and diaphysis don’t fully close/fuse until about the age of 21, so the X-Rays of pediatric patients look much different.

Not only are children more radiosensitive than adults (the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is higher), but children also have a longer expected lifetime, which puts them at greater risk of cancer following radiation exposure.(1) The balance of dose and image quality is even more important in pediatric medical imaging.
