摘要：
Automatic exposure control (AEC) is particularly well-suited for pediatric CT scanning. However the importance of the localizer scan portion of exams that relies on AEC is frequently underestimated. This paper explains in detail several crucial aspects of the localizer and their effect on the subsequent cross-sectional (axial or helical) image acquisition. The paper also covers general suggestions regarding AEC influence on the cross-sectional images. AEC systems on CT scanners are becoming more complex; using them effectively in the setting of pediatric CT requires careful selection of scan parameters.
