To quantify trends in pediatric computed tomography (CT) use and associated radiation exposure and cancer risk. Retrospective observational study. Seven US healthcare systems. CT use was evaluated in children <15 years from 1996-2010, including 4,857,736 child-years of observation. Radiation doses were calculated for 744 CT scans performed between 2001-2011. Rates of CT use, organ and effective doses, and projected lifetime attributable cancer risks. CT use doubled in children <5 years and tripled in children 5-14 between 1996-2005, stabilized until 2007, then declined. Effective doses varied from 0.03-69.2mSv per scan. An effective dose of ≥20mSv was delivered by 14-25% of abdomen/pelvis CTs, 6-14% of spine CTs, and 3-8% of chest CTs. Projected lifetime attributable risks of solid cancer were higher in younger patients and girls, and for abdomen/pelvis and spine CTs. In girls, a radiation-induced solid cancer is projected to result from every 300-390 abdomen/pelvis CTs, 330-480 chest CTs, and 270-800 spine CTs, depending on age. Leukemia risk was highest for head CTs in children <5 at 1.9/10,000. Nationally, 4 million pediatric CTs of the head, abdomen/pelvis, chest, or spine performed each year are projected to cause 4870 future cancers. Reducing the highest 25% of doses to the median might prevent 43% of these cancers. Increased use of pediatric CT combined with wide variability in radiation doses has resulted in many children receiving a high-dose examination. Dose-reduction strategies targeted to the highest quartile of doses could dramatically reduce the number of radiation-induced cancers.
