Can infants undergo brain CT scans?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Huang Shichang
Infants can undergo brain CT scans, which will not affect their brain development. Moreover, the radiation dose from a single CT scan is very low and falls within a safe range; such a small amount of radiation does not impact a child's health. Performing a CT scan on a child is primarily to determine whether there is any brain or skull injury, making CT an essential diagnostic procedure.
