Dual-phase CT protocol drops dose for tracheal exams in kids
By Cynthia E. Keen
Tracheomalacia, a weakness in the tracheal walls and supporting cartilage that can cause expiratory collapse, can be difficult to diagnose. Dual-phase CT provides a fast and accurate means of diagnosing the condition, but its use comes with an important caveat: double the radiation dose.

Automated exposure control delivers uneven CT dose reduction
By Eric Barnes
Reducing tube current may be a popular way to lower CT radiation dose, but it's not necessarily an effective one. In a new study, medical physicists from Greece found that organ dose reductions resulting from tube current modulation with automated exposure control can vary -- especially in children.

CT delivers 91% of total pediatric ER radiation dose
By James Brice
MDCT may be used half as often as general radiography for examining children in the pediatric trauma center at Johns Hopkins University, but the modality is responsible for 91% of the ionizing radiation exposure associated with diagnosing their injuries.

One abdominopelvic CT scan may be enough for pediatric trauma
By Cynthia E. Keen
Children often undergo multiple CT exams when admitted with traumatic injuries to hospital emergency departments. But chest CT studies might not be needed for many pediatric trauma patients if an abdominopelvic CT scan is ordered and includes images of the lower chest, according to a study published online in Pediatric Radiology.

Baby monitor shows promise for gating pediatric radiography
By James Brice
A motion detector that monitors newborn infants as they sleep may someday double as a respiratory gating device capable of reducing repeat digital radiographs for squirming children and uncooperative adults, according to research from Israel.
