The impact of pediatric-specific dose modulation curves on radiation dose and image quality in head computed tomography

Abstract: Pediatric-specific dose modulation curves resulted in an overall mean dose reduction of 45% with no significant differences in subjective or objective image quality findings.

“…These results are consistent with those of previous studies on enhanced thoracic and abdominal [13] and adult [23] or pediatric [22] head CT scans. We focused our analysis on unenhanced pediatric head CT scans to avoid any variation related to the CT image acquisition and contrast injection protocols, which might have resulted in differences in radiation doses delivered.…”

“…This a new complementary information, not observed in the Wallace et al study [20]. Our patients selection is higher than in previous published works: there were 9 children under 3 years of age reported in the McKnight study [21], Santos et al studied 2 groups of 10 newborns [22].…”
