| Core Tip |
Pediatric computed tomography (CT) dose assessment should move beyond scanner-output indices toward patient-size-adapted optimization. This review highlights size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) as a practical bridging metric linking volume CT dose index correction, pediatric body-size variation, water-equivalent diameter, head-specific dose estimation, organ-dose approximation, diagnostic reference levels, and task-based image-quality optimization. By integrating SSDE with automated size extraction, organ-dose modeling, and clinical indication-specific protocols, pediatric CT dose management can shift from simple dose recording to individualized, quality-constrained optimization. |
