   Although legislation exists in Canada that is designed to ensure people are not overexposed to radiation through faulty equipment, no specific guidelines exist regarding appropriate doses for children or even what test should be performed and when, says Dr. Hal Dunlap, medical director of radiology at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. Children who undergo scans at his hospital "get the least amount of radiation to get the job done. But who knows what happens at other places?"
   
   Such guidelines already exist in Britain, where they have led to a 30% drop in X-ray referrals in some hospitals. Moreover, there is a move in Europe to require manufacturers to provide a summary of the total radiation dose that a child receives for each CT test.
