Abstract

Medical diagnostic examinations, although delivering low doses of ionizing radiation, are the main man-made source of ionizing radiation exposure for the general population. The number of procedures performed has grown dramatically in high-income countries in recent decades.1 Among these examinations, the use of computed tomography (CT), a highly informative medical imaging technique, has dramatically increased, partly as a result of the ease and speed of image acquisition improvements over the years. These trends are also observed in paediatric CT, which currently represents approximately 11% of all CT examinations.1
