Short exposure time is the most important consideration in formulating exposure factors for pediatric techniques as children are more prone to movement during imaging. This can result in motion artifacts and poor image quality. Using short exposure times will reduce the risk of motion artifacts and minimize the possibility of retakes. While using a small focal spot and detail cassettes can contribute to image sharpness, they are not as critical as the exposure time. Maintaining optimum kVp as used for adults may not be appropriate for pediatric patients as they have different tissue densities than adults, thus requiring different exposure factors.
