Information on the use of pediatric computed tomography (CT), why it is important to minimize the radiation dose to children, and strategies to minimize CT radiation exposure to children.
The level of risk associated with a CT scan is not only related to the level of radiation dose, but also to the child’s age and gender. In general risks are lower the older you are. Responding to radiation risk The CT scan settings can be adapted for children (i.e. “child-sized”) to obtain the necessary information with
11 Ιαν 2019 · The use of computed tomography (CT) scans for medical imaging has skyrocketed in recent years, most significantly in the United States, and scientists have sought to determine whether the resulting radiation exposure in children can increase their risk of developing brain tumors later in life.
direct risk to one child. This information shows that the risk of developing cancer related to a single CT scan is very small, but the available research indicates that there may be some risk and the risk may be cumulative. How can we minimize radiation risk to my child? There are ways to ensure that your child is exposed to the
18 Ιουλ 2018 · Computed tomography (CT), a strong diagnostic tool, delivers higher radiation doses than most imaging modalities. As CT use has increased rapidly, radiation protection is important, particularly among children. We evaluate leukemia and brain tumor risk following exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation from CT scans in childhood.
A CT scan (Computed Tomography) uses x-rays and computers to take pictures of the internal structures of your child’s body. This information sheet from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) explains about having a CT scan at, how to prepare for it and what care your child will need afterwards.
Although the risk of cancers resulting from CT scans is small, radiation doses from CT scans should be kept as low as possible and alternative procedures that do not use ionising radiation should be
