Abstract
PKA /BW appeared to be the most reliable standard to report radiation dose across all procedure types and patient age. We recommend PKA /BW to be used as the standard unit in documenting radiation usage in pediatric laboratories and can be used to evaluate strategies to lower radiation dosage in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterizations. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
