Patient-based Performance Assessment for Pediatric Abdominal CT: An Automated Monitoring System Based on Lesion Detectability and Radiation Dose

ConclusionsAn automated method to assess clinical image quality for pediatric CT provided a metric of image quality that varied as expected across ages (i.e., higher quality for younger patients). This tool affords the establishment of a quality reference level that, in addition to dose estimations currently available, would allow for enhanced assessment (e.g., facilitated audit) of CT imaging performance.
