Minimizing radiation exposure in pediatric nephrolithiasis: The effectiveness of a low-dose computed tomography protocol
Reduced-dose computed tomography protocols are effective for assessing urolithiasis while reducing radiation exposure. Implementation of reduced-dose computed tomography protocols in cases of suspected urolithiasis is advised to limit radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic imaging detail.
