Cancer Risk from Pediatric Computed Tomography

This chapter provides a summary of a landmark study in radiology. How much radiation do children receive from computed tomography and what is the cancer risk from this radiation exposure? Starting with that question, it describes the basics of the study, including funding, study location, who was studied, how many patients, study overview, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case.
