To establish local diagnostic reference levels (LDRLs) at the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) Melbourne, Parkville, Australia, for typical paediatric CT examinations and compare these with international (DRLs) to benchmark practice. In addition, aim was develop a method of analysing scan parameters enable identification areas optimisation.A retrospective audit patient records brain, chest abdomen/pelvis undertaken. Demographic information, examination dose indicators--volumetric index...
Background Accelerated lung function decline in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) starts adolescence respiratory complications being the most common cause of death later life. Factors contributing to are not well understood, particular its relationship structural disease early childhood. Detection and management could be an important step improving outcomes CF patients. Methods Annual chest computed tomography (CT) scans were available from 2005 2016 as a part AREST cohort for children...
We present a three-dimensional measurement technique for femoral neck anteversion and shaft angles which do not require alignment of the scanner axes. Two assessors performed measurements on 11 patients (22 femurs). Repeatability between was 2.7 degrees 4.8 angle. Measurements compared with an alternative single slice method were different by 2 (3 degrees) in average. The repeatable appropriate clinical practice.
