Review discusses factors influencing radiation exposure in paediatric imaging, suggesting practical optimisations.
Paediatric computed tomography (CT) imaging has always been associated with challenges. Although the technical background of CT imaging is complex, it is worth considering the baseline aspects of radiation exposure to prevent unwanted excess radiation in paediatric patients. In this review, we discuss the most relevant factors influencing radiation exposure, and provide a simplified and practical approach to optimise paediatric CT.
