The use of a dedicated pediatric imaging department (with dedicated pediatric computed tomography (CT) technologists) for pediatric CT scans significantly reduces the radiation dose delivered to the patient, according to a study. When performed and monitored properly, the benefits of CT scans outweigh the potential long-term risk of radiation. To minimise the potential adverse effects […]
