Description : Paediatric computed tomography (CT) imaging though requested less than adult CT but has shown remarkable growth with raising concerns of increased radiation risk to the paediatric population. This study aims to evaluate age-based radiation dose from paediatric head CT scans at a single centre in Nigeria. This study evaluated 233 paediatric aged 0–15 years and were classified into four age groups; Group 1 (?1 year), Group 2 (2–5 years), Group 3 (6–10 years) and Group 4 (11–15 years).
