Optimization of pediatric CT scans in a developing country

Fotso Eddy Kamdem et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess scan parameters and propose strategies to optimize pediatric examinations on adult scanners in developing countries. By implementing the proposed strategies, dose reductions were achieved during pediatric CT examinations, demonstrating the feasibility of reducing radiation exposure for children on adult machines.

Epidemiological studies of CT scans and cancer risk: the state of the science

Amy Berrington de Gonzalez et al.

Summary: This review examined epidemiological studies on cancer risks from CT scans in children initiated 20 years ago and found wide variability in study methodology, making comparison of findings challenging. Studies showed positive dose-response relationships for leukemia and brain tumors, with ongoing efforts aiming to provide more precise risk quantification. The evidence suggests that CT scans can cause cancer, but the absolute risks to individual patients are likely to be small.

Evaluation of the lifetime brain/central nervous system cancer risk associated with childhood head CT scanning in Japan

Yuko Kadowaki et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the lifetime risk of brain/CNS cancer due to head CT exams performed on Japanese children aged 0-10 in 2012, 2015, and 2018, showing a decreased frequency of childhood CT scans. The findings suggest some risk exists, but efforts to reduce childhood CT exposure have been effective.
