An awareness of the use of CT in children is still inadequate and difficulties in the diagnosis of SRC probably cause the overuse of CT. DWI should be preferred in the diagnosis of SRC and the follow-up of patients. Otherwise, the increase in the prevalence of several diseases, particularly neoplasia, may be inevitable because of the over use of CT.
