Potential for Radiation Dose Reduction in Dual-Source Computed Tomography of the Lung in the Pediatric and Adolescent Population Compared to Digital Radiography

Potential for Radiation Dose Reduction in Dual-Source Computed Tomography of the Lung in the Pediatric and Adolescent Population Compared to Digital Radiography

Low-dose dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) protocols for the evaluation of lung diseases in children and adolescents are of importance since this age group is particularly prone to radiation damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate image quality of low-dose DSCT of the lung and to assess t...
