Novel radiation app
May 6, 2016
THE DIP 4 Kids App is designed to
support a reduction in unwarranted
exposure to radiation from CT
scans for children, and is the
result of work from the Australian
Commission on Safety and Quality
in Health Care and the Western
Australian Department of Health.
With more than 80,000 CT scans
performed on people under the
age of 20 each year in Australia,
co-creator of DIP, Professor Richard
Mendelson, Emeritus Consultant
Radiologist, Royal Perth Hospital
and Clinical Professor, University of
Western Australia said that the app
was a convenient tool for clinicians
to instantly share resources with
parents or carers, to discuss the
benefits and the risks of CT scans
for young age groups.
