    Radiation protection in pediatric radiology requires special attention than in adult because children are more sensitive to radiation and at higher risk. This risk is explained by the longer life expectancy in children which allows for harmful effects of radiation to manifest and their developing organs and tissues being more sensitive to radiation. Hence, the need for determination of appropriate radiation dose for pediatricpatients. This study aimed to estimate entrance skin dose (ESD) received by pediatric patients during diagnostic X-ray examinations.
