Implication

Prospective study shows ultra-low dose CT offers superior imaging and reduced radiation in pediatric PCD patients, suggesting its preference over chest radiography.

Key Points

Ultra-low dose CT demonstrates superior diagnostic capabilities compared to chest radiography.
The mean effective dose for ultra-low dose CT was 0.08 mSv, comparable to chest radiography levels.
Excellent inter-rater reliability was observed, with ICC values of 0.98 for Brody II score and 0.92 for Chrispin-Norman score.
The findings support ultra-low dose CT as the preferred imaging modality for surveillance in pediatric patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia.
