Abstract

This report documents the use of low dose scanning beam digital radiography (American Science and Engineering, Inc., Cambridge, Mass.) as a substitute for conventional fluoroscopy to perform the imaging required for successful gastrointestinal biopsy in children. This technique permits the performance of projection radiography at low radiation exposures of 0.24 to 2.4 milliroentgens per image (mR/image) ([0.62 to 6.2] x 10^-7 Coulombs per kilogram) (C/kg).
