Iatrogenic risks associated with CT scans received in childhood

April 09 2015

The main objective is to identify group of children who received CT scan and to study the long-term effects of the radiation in order to gain knowledge about all potential iatrogenic effects after exposure to CT scan in childhood by means of a cohort study.

The study aims to:
- identify a potential risk of radiation-induced cancer after CT scan in childhood, and quantify if any;
- identify the factors affecting this potential risk, namely, the relationship with the dose received by the organ, the percentage of the irradiated body, age at CT scan, gender and possibly other carcinogenic factors.

Secondary objectives are to identify potential risks of other radiation-induced diseases such as cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases and quantify them if they exist.
