As a complementary and individualised method CT of the pediatric chest and abdomen facilitates or permits correct diagnosis. Evaluation of neoplasms is the most frequent indication and includes precise definition of the site of origin, the extent of disease and of possible metastases. Moreover, monitoring of the treatment and follow-up studies are made much easier. Traumatic lesions of parenchymal organs are easily estimated with high accuracy. However, the relevant contribution provided by the computer-tomographic cross-sectional display has to be carefully weighed against the effort required for and possible adverse reactions induced by the examination, which altogether may be considered as slightly rather than non-invasive, including the genetic risk of radiation.
作为一种辅助性的个体化方法，小儿胸部和腹部CT有助于或能够实现正确诊断。肿瘤评估是最常见的适应证，包括精确确定肿瘤起源部位、疾病范围以及可能的转移情况。此外，治疗监测和随访研究也变得更加容易。实质器官的创伤性病变很容易被高精度评估。然而，计算机断层扫描横断面显示所提供的相关作用必须与检查所需的努力以及可能引发的不良反应仔细权衡，总体而言，包括辐射的遗传风险，其可被视为具有一定而非无侵入性。
