Paediatric radiation dose and cancer risk associated with body effective diameter during CT thorax examination
Paediatric patients are considered vulnerable to radiation exposure and have a greater risk of developing radiation-induced cancers due to active growth cells. Radiation dose from a CT examination is the highest among other imaging modalities and can become harmful if unoptimised. Thus, the aim of t...
