Local Diagnostic Reference Levels for Paediatric Head CT Procedures
Acta Medica Lituanica, 2021 Background. Patients, especially children, are exposed to substantially high doses of ionising radiation during computed tomography (CT) procedures. Children are several times more susceptible to ionising radiation than adults.
