Conversion factors between the energy imparted to the patient in pediatric radiography and air collision kerma integrated over beam area are presented. The values have been derived from Monte Carlo calculations in soft tissue phantoms and extend results published earlier to cover children from early infancy to the age of 15 years. Variations related to phantom size as well as to focus-phantom distance, radiation field size, orientation of view (a.p., lateral), tube potential, and beam filtration are given. We show that the conversion factor increases with increasing half-value layer of the X-ray beam and the anterioposterior width of the simulated child. Increasing the focus-phantom distance increases the conversion factor, while increasing the field size decreases the factors due to more scattered radiation escaping laterally from the phantom.
