Reduction Of CT Pediatric Radiation Dose by Iterative Reconstruction

Abstract

The use of computed tomography (CT) scans in pediatric patients has raised concerns due to the potential risks associated with ionizing radiation exposure. Iterative reconstruction techniques have been developed to reduce radiation dose while maintaining high image quality. This essay explores the effectiveness of iterative reconstruction in reducing radiation dose in pediatric CT scans, highlighting the importance of optimizing dose protocols to ensure the safety of young patients. By reviewing current literature and research studies, this essay aims to provide insights into the benefits and challenges of implementing iterative reconstruction in pediatric radiology.
