The CT & Dose Taskforce aims:

  • to create evidence base for justification and optimisation in the use of computed tomography in children and young adults
  • to provide a dynamic platform for communication and discussion
  • to provide an opportunity continuous education using quality assurance criteria
  • to develop evidence based guidelines for good clinical practice within paediatric CT
