1 yr girl, 10kg, with abnormal facies, underwent Head CT for osseous dysmorphism: Craniosynostosis protocol
Technique: (ASIR)
Scan parameters80 kVp50 mAEstimated dose: 0.1 mSv
CT evaluation of bony abnormalities such as craniostenosis should be performed at lowest possible radiation dose levels. Note that brain parenchyma is hard to see at such dose levels but bony details and reformatted images show exquisite bony details.
