Demand for CT scans increases during transition from paediatric to adult care: an observational study from 2009 to 2015

OBJECTIVE: Avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure is a clinical priority in children and young adults. We aimed to explore demand for CT scans in a busy general hospital with particular interest in the period of transition from paediatric to adult medical care. METHODS: We used an observational e...
