Bismuth Shielding in Head Computed Tomography—Still Necessary?
<b>Introduction:</b> Cranial CT scans are associated with radiation exposure to the eye lens, which is a particularly radiosensitive organ. Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults. Therefore, it is essential to use the available dose reduction techniques to minimize radiati...
