Postnatal Evaluation of Congenital Chest Pathologies Using a Low-Dose Computed Tomography (CT) Protocol - a Pictorial Review.

Computed tomography with its excellent spatial and temporal resolution remains a valuable diagnostic modality in pediatrics. On the other hand an increasing attention has been placed on the radiation risks associated with CT imaging, especially in children.
