Minimizing Radiation Exposure in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement Approach on X-Ray Practices

Minimizing Radiation Exposure in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement Approach on X-Ray Practices

Purpose Radiographic examinations are frequently performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). However, concerns are emerging regarding the safety of radiation exposure, especially in vulnerable preterm infants in periods of rapid cellular division. This...
