Abstract
A study was performed to establish the value of a computed radiography (CR) system in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). CR images obtained with various X-ray doses were compared with the images of a standard film-screen system. The image quality of CR taken with about one half radiation exposure, was comparable to that of the standard high speed film-screen combination. The use of CR could lead to a significant reduction in radiation in the neonatal I.C.U.Keywords
