Pediatric CT: a new collection of clinical cases

Dear MDCT.net readers,

CT procedures in the pediatric population are crucial for obtaining accurate diagnoses of diseases or injuries. However, several age-related factors, such ongoing growth and tissue composition, may increase the risk of harm due to radiation exposure. Recent advances in CT technology have made it possible to optimize strategies to minimize this risk without compromising image quality. 

As demonstrated in the clinical cases presented in this Newsletter, tailored CT protocols can lead to precise diagnoses while reducing radiation exposure. This collection of both new and previously published pediatric clinical cases covers various body regions and conditions, providing insights into the best approaches to address the challenges associated with CT in children.

We hope you appreciate these cases and find them useful for your daily clinical practice. For suggestions on new topics to be covered in future newsletters, please contact us at editorial@mdct.net.
