Optimised low-dose multidetector CT protocol for children with cranial deformity.

Objective: To present an optimised low-dose multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) protocol for the study of children with cranial deformity.

Methods: Ninety-one consecutive MDCT studies were performed in 80 children. Studies were performed with either our standard head CT protocol (group 1, n = 20) or a low-dose cranial deformity protocol (groups 2 and 3).
