Abstract

Imaging the coronary arteries of children, with their faster heart rates, small vessel size and common inability to lie still or breath-hold, has been a major challenge. With numerous advances in technology, CT examinations can now be performed quickly, often with children free-breathing and with much lower radiation doses than previously. This has led to increased use in children. Care must be taken with technique and choice of electrocardiogram (ECG)-gating technique to obtain adequate imaging for a diagnosis while keeping radiation dose as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). In this paper, we discuss techniques and tips for CT imaging of the coronary arteries in children, including use of dual-source- and ultrawide-detector CT scanners.
