Abstrakt		First of all, the authors call attention to the possible harmful effects of medical radiation from diagnostic radiography in everyday paediatric practice. Half a century ago researches thought that the most severe consequences of radiation after the explosion of the atomic bomb were on genetic material. Today investigators consider that the most important late sequences are fatal malignancies. ALARA represents the summary of all procedures that have the common goal of decreasing doses of radiation without significantly influencing the quality of the picture. "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" are principles employed by all modern technical alternatives, especially of digital radiography. The authors emphasize the importance of continuing education and training of medical staff and a good cooperation between the paediatrician, paediatric radiologist and radiographer.
Izvleček		Avtorja najprej opozorita na možne škodljive učinke radiološkega sevanja ob rentgenski diagnostiki pri otrocih. Pred pol stoletja so strokovnjaki menili, da so najtežje posledice radioaktivnega sevanja po eksploziji atomske bombe na genetskem materialu. Danes pa smo mnenja, da so pozne posledice v obliki usodnih malignomov najbolj pomembne. Govorimo o ALARA, ki so zbirek vseh postopkov, ki imajo za skupni cilj znižati odmerek sevanja, vendar do te mere, da ne vplivajo bistveno na kakovost slike. "As Low As Reeasonable Achievable" so načela, ki uporabijo vse moderne tehnološke možnosti predvsem digitalne radiografije. Poudariti je potrebno, da je pomembno tudi neprekinjeno izobraževanje zdravstvenega kadra in dobro sodelovanje med pediatrom, radiologom in radiološkim inženirjem.
