The purpose of this document is to provide information to assist radiologists in supplementing adult imaging protocols, and to highlight when an imaging protocol needs to be changed for children (patients <16 years). The scope of this document is to provide guidance on the performance of paediatric imaging for radiology practices and hospital departments that are not dedicated paediatric centres. It also provides radiologists and radiology practices with a list of useful references that complement the recommendations contained within this guide.
