Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable examination in children, but the lifetime cancer mortality attributed to CT radiation in children is an order of magnitude higher than in adults. Therefore, it is important that radiologists and referring clinicians ensure that parents are fully informed of the radiation risks, the appropriateness of the examination is considered and imaging protocols are tailored to reduce the radiation burden.
计算机断层扫描（CT）对儿童来说是一项有价值的检查，但儿童因CT辐射导致的终生癌症死亡率比成人高出一个数量级。因此，放射科医生和转诊临床医生必须确保让家长充分了解辐射风险，考虑检查的适宜性，并调整成像方案以减轻辐射负担，这一点很重要。
