Abstract

Micturating Cystourethrography (MCUG) is a common procedure performed in pediatrics. This procedure is associated with high radiation dose due to continuous screening to the patients. Therefore, dose optimisation is very important as their developing organs and tissues are more sensitive compared to an adult. However, Malaysia has not yet established the DRLs for MCUG procedure.
