Abstract

Aim: The purpose of our study was to investigate the impact of clinical risk classification on optimization of the rationale of CT scanning in children with mild blunt head trauma. Exposed effective radiation dose values of CT scanning were also evaluated. Methods: Children with isolated pediatric mild head trauma admitted in a single center over a 5-year period (n=3102, >. 2 years and
