- Description
- The "Epidemiological study to quantify risks for paediatric computerized tomography and to optimise doses" (EPI-CT) was set-up to investigate the relationship between the exposure to ionizing radiation from CT scans in childhood and adolescence and possibly attributable late health effects. Eighteen centres from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom will cooperate in this project to enrol approximately one million patients. The knowledge gained on current and past CT examination practice will help to propose strategies for further dose reduction.
