| Abstrakt: | Reducing dose while maintaining diagnostic image quality is an essential and complex aspect of computed tomography (CT). In particular, children are more sensitive to the effects of ionizing radiation, and all imaging professionals involved in pediatric CT examinations must optimize dose and image quality for individual examinations. The CT community must continue to improve dose levels and variance from these examinations with attention to protocols and techniques and the use of advanced technology. This article examines the effects of CT radiation on pediatric patients and standard and new methods for optimizing dose and image quality in pediatric CT examinations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
