To assess radiation dose reduction and protocol compliance when tailoring pediatric computed tomography protocols to patient weight, clinical indications, and previous imaging exposure.
Adapted pediatric CT scanner parameters according to patient weight, specific clinical indications, and the number of prior imaging examinations.
Evaluated institutional compliance rates alongside total radiation dose metrics achieved across the adjusted protocols.
Achieved substantial reductions in radiation dose through the customized pediatric imaging protocols.
Maintained high clinician and scanner operator compliance when implementing the personalized CT protocol adjustments.
