Radiographic artifacts caused by the laundering of flame-retardant materials

WL Smith, B Redick, L Hobson, EA Franken Jr and JA Smith

Federal law now mandates the use of flame retardants in children's sleepwear, and regulations are pending in several areas to require their use in all hospital fabrics.
