Patient's question:
Now the child is in a period of rapid growth. 1.72 meters tall, 47 kilograms in weight. It's just like adults. The child has always been in good health. The heart sounds are fine. Do you think I need a CT scan? Does a CT scan have an impact on children? Thank you very much for your help.Doctor's answer:
Coronary artery dilation requires consideration of heart disease, and a CT scan should be performed. CT scans involve radiation exposure, but the impact on children is relatively minor, and it has little effect on older children. However, based on your description, a CT scan should be conducted. CT scans do involve radiation, but the impact on the child is relatively small, especially since the child is quite old. The above is a detailed answer to the question "Does a CT scan affect children?" and I hope it will be helpful to you.
