Dose Reduction Techniques in Pediatric Computed Tomography
Abstract:
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.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
