Chest X-ray for Clinical Evaluation
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare X-ray images obtained using the GM85 digital radiography machine at the standard full dose to X-ray images obtained using the GM85 digital radiography machine along with the Samsung S-Vue system, which is a image post-processing engine that allows images to be obtained using a lower dose. The study also aims to determine the lowest dose of radiation that can be used to get a good, readable x-ray of the chest in pediatric patients using Samsung S-Vue system.
