Optimal tube voltage for abdominal enhanced CT in children: a self-controlled study.

CONCLUSION: Patient weight-dependent tube voltage selection maximizes image quality for abdominal enhanced CT in children. The optimal tube voltage for children with weight <28 kg is 80 kV; higher voltages should be selected for children weighing 28.1-50.0 kg. PMID: 31161944 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
