OBJECTIVE To investigate pediatric abdominal CT using a simplified split-bolus (Split group) contrast injection compared with a single bolus (Control group). METHODS Radiation dose, image quality and diagnostic accuracy were compared. RESULTS Split group demonstrated lower effective dose (2.46 vs. 2.85mSv, p=0.002) and noise levels in aorta, liver and portal vein (p<0.001). There was one false-negative case of portal vein obliteration in the Split group. CONCLUSIONS A simple method of split-bolus intravenous contrast injection technique can provide adequate and homogeneous enhancement in pediatric abdominal CT.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
