How should the healthcare professional reply when parents question why a computed tomographic (CT) scan of the head was not ordered for their 5-year-old child after a minor fall?

◦ Physicians are cautious about ordering CT scan on children younger than 10 years of age.
◦ CT scans are seldom conclusive when used to diagnosis head injuries in young children.
◦ The child’s symptoms will determine whether a CT scan is necessary and worth the expense.
◦ Research suggests that repeated CT scans can increase the risk of developing brain cancer.
