However, the cancer risk associated with CT examinations, particularly in children, is of significant concern. The assessment of cancer risk relies on the radiation dose to examinees. Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) and achievable doses (ADs) were used to assess the level of radiation dose in CT examinations widely. Although the national DRLs of paediatric CT have been explored in China, few local DRLs at the city level have been assessed. To set up the local DRLs and ADs of paediatric CT, we investigated the radiation dose level for paediatric CT in Shanghai. In this survey, a total of 3061 paediatric CT examinations underwent in Shanghai in 2022 were selected by stratified sampling, and the dose levels in terms of volume CT dose index (CTDI<jats:sub>vol<\/jats:sub>) and the dose-length product (DLP) were analysed by 4 age groups. The DRLs and ADs were set at the 75th and 50th percentile of the distribution and compared with the previous studies at home and abroad. The survey results revealed that, for head scan, the DRLs of CTDI<jats:sub>vol<\/jats:sub> were from 25 to 46 mGy, and the levels of DLP were from 340 to 663 mGy\u00b7cm. For chest, the DRLs of CTDI<jats:sub>vol<\/jats:sub> were from 2.2 to 8.3 mGy, and the levels of DLP were from 42 to 223 mGy\u00b7cm. For abdomen, the DRLs of CTDI<jats:sub>vol<\/jats:sub> were from 6.3 to 16 mGy, and the levels of DLP were from 181 to 557 mGy\u00b7cm. The ADs were about 60% lower than their corresponding DRLs. The levels of radiation doses in children-based hospitals were higher than those in other medical institutions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). In conclusion, there was still potential for reducing radiation dose of paediatric CT, emphasising the urgent need for optimising paediatric CT dose in Shanghai.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6498\/ad3ce5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,10]],"date-time":"2024-04-10T22:21:20Z","timestamp":1712787680000},"page":"021509","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Age-based diagnostic reference levels and achievable doses for paediatric CT: a survey in Shanghai, China"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Fanqiaochu","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3451-9484","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Linfeng","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"jrpad3ce5bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"510","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-011-2056-z","article-title":"Computed tomography\u2013old ideas and new technology","volume":"21","author":"Fleischmann","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eur.
