Clinical question influence on radiation dose of cardiac CT scan in children

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: To assess the impact of different clinical questions on radiation doses acquired during cardiac computed tomography in children. Methods: A total of 116 children who underwent cardiac CT on a third-generation dual-source CT scanner were included. The clinical questions were divided into three main categories: the extent of scanning in the z-axis, coronary artery assessment and cardiac function assessment. Radiation dose values represented as a dose-length product (DLP) in mGy*cm were recorded from the CT scanner protocols. Results: There were significantly higher doses in cases with cardiac function assessment (median DLP 348 versus 59 mGy*cm, p &lt; 0.01) and in cases with coronary artery assessment (median DLP 133 versus 71 mGy*cm, p &lt; 0.01). Conclusion: The most important factor was the assessment of cardiac function, where the median radiation dose was 4.3x higher in patients with a request for cardiac function assessment. We strongly recommend that clinical requests for cardiac CT should be carefully considered in the paediatric population.
