Launch of EPI-CT website

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is the coordinating centre of “Epidemiological study to quantify risks for paediatric computerized tomography and to optimize doses (EPI-CT)", an international project supported by the European Union. The EPI-CT study uses cohort data from nine European countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom: 1 million patients will be enrolled. The study aims to evaluate the factors associated with the use of paediatric CT scans, to build evidence to understand risks vs benefits of CT procedures and to define strategies for dose reduction.
A dedicated website, http://epi-ct.iarc.fr is the public interface of the study.Visit EPI-CT website
