Abstract
- Abstract: Choice of imaging modalities should be based on scientific proof and best practice guidelines. However, in the neonatal age group there is a paucity of medical evidence, and imaging is often guided by local experience, availability of equipment and expertise, and by logistical factors. This paper discusses possible indications for CT in the neonate, the associated radiation protection issues, common CT findings and potential pitfalls in technique and image interpretation. Due to the particular range of abnormalities in this age group, imaging must be tailored to the individual, and should in most cases be done in specialist units. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
