Computed tomographic scanning in children: comparison of radiation dose and resolving power of commercial CT scanners

RC Brasch, DP Boyd, and CA Gooding

Surface and internal radiation doses for abdominal computed tomography (CT) of children were determined using child-sized phantoms and seven models of CT body scanners. Resolving power of each scanner was determined simultaneously with the radiation dose determination. The average surface skin dose for a complete CT body examination ranged from 0.39 to 5.60 rad, varying with patient size and model of CT scanner employed. A high contrast (12%) resolving power phantom of water-filled holes in acrylic showed a range of 1.75--2.25 mm.
