Abstract. The purpose of our study was to update the annual frequency of X-ray examinations and the pattern of paediatric radiology in 2000 year. Also, to assess in terms of effective dose the magnitude of pediatric patient exposure during conventional X-ray examinations, selected by their high frequencies or their relatively high doses delivered to patient. The annual effective doses from all medical examinations for the average pediatric patients are as follows: 0.85 mSv for 0 year old, 0.53 mSv for 1 year old, 0.56 mSv for 5 year old, 0.72 mSv for 10 year old and 0.74 mSv for 15 year old. The resulting annual collective effective dose was evaluated at 872 manSv, with the largest contribution of pelvis and hip examinations. However, this ...
