Establishing of a National Diagnostic Reference Level for Radiation Dose in Digital Paediatric Pelvic X-Rays in Jordan: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
The study revealed age-dependent variations and notable disparities in radiation doses among various healthcare institutions in Jordan. Establishing the NDRL of 0.612 mGy provides a benchmark for dose optimisation and aligns Jordan's practices with international standards. The findings can guide national radiation protection policies and clinical guidelines, enhance paediatric imaging practices, and minimise unnecessary radiation exposure.
