Abstract

OBJECTIVE. Pediatric CT angiography (CTA) presents unique challenges compared with adult CTA. Because of the ionizing radiation exposure, CTA should be used judiciously in children. The pearls offered here are observations gleaned from the authors' experience in the use of pediatric CTA. We also present some potential follies to be avoided. CONCLUSION. Understanding the underlying principles and paying meticulous attention to detail can substantially optimize dose and improve the diagnostic quality of pediatric CTA.
