Reducing Radiation Dose in Pediatric CT is an interactive CE course that covers the potential dangers of the increased use of CT scan in children and how to minimize these risks. The course explains the effects of ionizing radiation on different levels and reviews the basic physics that impact the radiation dose a child receives from a CT scan. This course also reviews the guidelines for optimizing diagnostic image quality in the pediatric population while reducing the CT radiation dose to the patient. You will learn about the challenges and the requirements for imaging children, such as communicating effectively with the child and their caregivers. The course also provides the considerations and steps for the development of protocols for pediatric CT scans.

Reducing Radiation Dose in Pediatric CT is an appropriate CE course for novice and veteran CT scan technologists alike. The course is also suitable for students in computed tomography programs who want to grow their knowledge and enhance their learning about radiation risks and protection practices in pediatric CT examinations.
