REGISTER NOW

The programme of this webinar will cover dose reduction strategies in paediatric CT, paediatric CT acquisition parameters and optimal clinical protocols, and paediatric DRLs based on clinical indications.  It is aimed at radiologists, radiographers, and medical physicists who want to improve their skills in:

  • Radiation protection and optimisation in paediatric CT examinations
  • Using DRLs based on clinical indications for CT

The webinar includes presentations from medical experts (one presentation will be delivered by a radiologist, one by a radiographer and one by a medical physicist), live online assessments, and a live Q&A discussion (based on audience questions).

Learning objectives

After watching the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • To learn the effects of CT acquisition parameters on radiation dose and image quality.
  • To understand key dose reduction strategies for CT examinations
  • To become familiar with optimal CT protocols for common clinical indications
  • To understand the utility of using DRLs based on clinical indications for CT
