: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported in: (1) Chu et al []; . (2) Chu et al (2023) Correction to: dose length product to effective dose coefficients in children. Pediatr Radiol 53:2165. . Erratum for: Pediatr Radiol 2023 53:1659–1668. . Paper (1) focuses on the selection of reference phantoms, which served as the basis for the phantom selection in this paper. Paper (2) deals with the development of pediatric effective dose coefficients. The effective dose was not reported in this paper. The current study reports a new analysis using a different time frame and total patient cohort from the registry than these previously published works, and for the first time, we have established DRLs for indication-based CT categories in children.
