Abstract
The development of modern radiological technics has led to significant growth of both medical related radiation exposure levels and their share in overall radiation exposure. This article describes modern opinions on linear non-threshold model for radiation exposure stochastic effects and the latest tendencies in scientific discussions. The measurements for radiation exposure are crucial for pediatric oncology and thus require continuous research. Some publications are based on the current model, some state that this model is outdated and not proved enough. All data which we did put into this article was based on mix contingent research, we didn’t find any studies which were based specifically on children. Due to different opinions which are present currently, the strict control over diagnostic radiation dose is required for pediatric oncology patients. They should be equal or lower the 100 mSv dose level when clinically possible, otherwise additional efforts for dose saving are required in order to minimize the possibility of late radiation exposure effects from diagnostic radiological examinations.
