Its recommended for pediatricians to take awareness of the risks and benefits of a study by ionizing radiation, and to consider alternative methods of diagnosis; in addition it has to be teach in the hospitalization area a written control in order to quantify the radiation exposure and to be able to establish the bases of its control.
