Chest X rays are by far the most frequent radiological examination in paediatric patients. The purpose of this study was to select appropriate reference doses for four different age groups - premature infants, 10 month infants, 5 year old children and 10 year old children. Calculations were performed on dosimetric data based on four European-wide surveys. It is proposed that the mean values or the 3rd quartiles derived from the distribution of entrance surface dose values from radiology departments using 'optimised' techniques - with reference to radiographic voltage, grid use and screen-film combinations might be better suited as reference dose values than the previously recommended values which did not respect good radiographic technique adequately.
