Abstract

Innovations in image acquisition and reconstruction technologies have greatly expanded the range of CT applications available in the routine clinical setting. CT images of sub-millimeter resolution can now be acquired of entire body regions in a few seconds or even sub-second time, allowing depiction of fine anatomical detail uncompromised by motion artifact. With sophisticated visualization software, image data can be processed into multiplanar, volume-rendered, cine and other formats to better display anatomical abnormalities and facilitate newer applications such as CT angiography, enterography, urography, tracheobronchography and cardiac CT. Newer applications including dual-energy material decomposition CT are furthering the transition of CT from a purely morphological to a combined anatomical, functional and metabolic imaging technique. These newer applications have largely been pioneered in adult populations, and heightened concern of the risk of carcinogenesis from ionizing radiation tempers dissemination of their use in children. Similar information can often be gleaned from alternative imaging modalities without ionizing radiation exposure, such as MRI and US, and what is most appropriate in children will depend on relative diagnostic efficacy, cost, availability and local expertise.
