Pediatric MDCT: towards assessing the diagnostic influence of dose reduction on the detection of small lung nodules

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of reduced tube current (dose) on lung nodule detection in pediatric multidetector array computed tomography (MDCT). The study included normal clinical chest MDCT images of 13 patients (aged 1-7 years) scanned at tube currents of 70 to 180 mA. Cal...
