Pediatric immobilization
Devices before people, the shortest exposure time, and no holder ever in the primary beam.
The rule
Motion is the most common reason a pediatric image is repeated, and every repeat adds a full exposure for that view. Children are more radiosensitive than adults and have more years for late effects to appear. The goal is one good exposure: a still child, a tight field, and the shortest exposure time the equipment allows.
