The number of medical examinations in which children are exposed to relatively high radiation doses has increased significantly over the last years. For example, the number of CT scans in children has risen by approximately 80% since 2005. A similar rise is also seen among adults, as is shown by research of the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).
