- W2009249596 abstract "Background: Neonates in intensive care often have multiple radiographs performed. Neonatal gonads would be expected to have high tissue radio-sensitivity and should be excluded from radiographs whenever possible. We aimed to assess in our unit how often gonads are present on neonatal abdominal radiographs. Method: Retrospective audit of neonatal abdominal radiographs (July-October 2008). Results: 50 radiographs were screened in 32 preterm and 18 term infants. The gonads were excluded (coned off appropriately) in 18/50 (36%) of infants. This group had a median corrected gestational age of 33 (range 25-42) weeks. 64%of abdominal radiographs had the gonads included in the radiation field. This group were of a similar median gestational 32 (24-42) weeks. 74% of abdominal films were carried out in the first week of life. Conclusion: Although gonadal shielding is not routinely performed in the UK appropriate coning in accordance with the Ionising Radiations (Protection of Persons Undergoing Medical Examinations or Treatment) Regulations 1988 should be adhered to whenever practically possible. We demonstrated that two thirds of neonatal radiographs assessed did not achieve this. This was not related to gestational age or size. Although gonadal shields raise the issue of infection control, cost and masking of important nearby anatomy, repeated radiographic exposure in this vulnerable population of infants justifies re evaluation of practice in this area." @default.
