背景：人们对 CT 扫描辐射暴露相关的潜在风险（尤其是儿童）表示担忧。然而，迄今为止，很少有数据可以描述儿科 CT 使用的规模。目的：本研究的目的是探讨儿科患者 CT 使用模式，包括时间、多次扫描的使用、身体区域成像和医疗诊断。材料和方法：对 18,075 名老年人进行 22,223 次扫描的记录
Background: Concern has been raised about the potential risks related to radiation exposure from CT scans, particularly among children. However, to date, there are few data available describing the magnitude of pediatric CT utilization. Objective: The aim of the study was to explore patterns of CT use in pediatric patients, with respect to time, use of multiple scans, body regions imaged, and medical diagnoses. Materials and methods: Records of 22,223 scans performed on 18,075 people aged
