Image Gently: Ten Steps You Can Take to Optimize Image Quality and Lower CT Dose for Pediatric Patients
Abstract
AJR:194, April 2010 This article suggests 10 steps that radiologists and radiologic technologists, with the assistance of their medical physicist, can take to obtain good quality CT images while properly managing radiation dose for children undergoing CT. The first six steps ideally should be completed before performing any CT on a pediatric patient. The final four steps address the unique consideration that should be given for each scanned patient.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
