Intraoral X-ray units for a pediatric patient
The following table shows the standard values for the exposure time and the dose area product of a
PSP for a pediatric patient.
Children are more sensitive to radiation than adults. Keep the exposure parameters as low as
possible taking into consideration the image quality. Refer also to the FDA information on pedia-
tric X-ray imaging.
