Abstract (English):	The practice of medicine is based on imaging studies, to facilitate decision to establish the diagnosis is the magnitude of risk to be subjected to a radiological study, will only be justified when it is obtained useful information for the patient. Objective: To establish a guideline to define based on the analysis of results and experience generated in pediatric neurological services and imaging and radiology Specialty Unit Medical Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional. Also, to the most common indications for CT skull in pediatric patients. Today the practice of medicine is based on imaging studies, which we facilitate decisions more accurate and successful for establish diagnostic. Requests are sent every day various radiological studies of different types: simple, contrasting, ultrasound, CT and simple contrasted, among others, and the problem persists and were they informed about the study and the proposed use of ionizing radiation? Although more is known of the damage caused by radiation than any other environmental damage is unknown magnitude of risk when subjected to a study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
