Low dose CT is a specialized type of computed tomography that uses reduced levels of radiation while still delivering high-quality images. It is especially important in screening and monitoring diseases like lung cancer, where repeated imaging is required over time. Advances in CT technology and software have made it possible to lower radiation exposure without compromising diagnostic accuracy. Low dose CT is commonly used in lung cancer screening, chest scans, and pediatric imaging. This approach balances safety and precision, providing reliable diagnostic results while minimizing long-term health risks from radiation exposure, particularly in high-risk or sensitive populations.
