      CT EXAMINATIONS.

AB  - Clinical challenges in pediatrics dose estimation by the displayed computed 
      tomography (CT) dose indices may lead to inaccuracy, and thus size-specific dose 
      estimate (SSDE) is introduced for better-personalized dose estimation. This study 
      aims to estimate pediatric dose adapted to specific size. This retrospective 
      study involved pediatric population aged 0-12 y. SSDE was derived from scanner 
      reported volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), based on individual effective diameter 
      (Deff) with corresponding size correction factors. The correlations of Deff with 
      other associated factors such as age, exposure setting, CTDIvol and SSDE were 
      also studied. The average Deff of Malaysian pediatric was smaller than reference 
      phantom size (confidence interval, CI = 0.28, mean = 14.79) and (CI = 0.51, 
      mean = 16.33) for head and abdomen, respectively. These have led to 
      underestimation of pediatric dose as SSDE was higher than displayed CTDIvol. The 
      percentage differences were statistically significant (p < .001) ranged from 0 to 
      17% and 37 to 60% for head and abdominal CT, respectively. In conclusion, the 
      clinical implementation of SSDE in pediatric CT imaging is highly relevant to 
      reduce radiation risk.
