| Core Tip |
Ultra-low dose computed tomography (ULDCT) is an exciting technique developed over the last decade that allows acquisition of diagnostic quality images at remarkably low radiation doses. This technique is especially important in patients requiring regular repeated imaging such as children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Patients with PCD frequently suffer from recurrent respiratory tract infections and develop structural lung changes that require regular imaging to monitor. While chest radiography is traditionally used, subtle findings may be missed due to limitations of this modality. Our study offers an alternative; ULDCT which is superior in diagnostic capability with a minimal radiation dose penalty. |
