<p>This study compares CT dose measurements specifically CTDIvol and DLP between standard phantoms (SP) and locally constructed phantoms (CP) for head and body scans across four CT centres. Locally built phantoms, made from bent PMMA sheets and filled with water, were tested alongside standard phantoms using ionization chambers. Results show minor differences in dose estimates, with head CT showing slightly higher deviations (up to 7.18%) compared to body CT (up to 3.25%). Console-displayed values followed similar trends, with some larger variations noted, especially for head CT at one centre (up to 52.11% deviation). However, ANOVA analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between SP and CP dose values. All results were within the ±20% uncertainty range recommended by IAEA and ACR, suggesting that locally constructed phantoms are suitable alternatives for CT dose assessments in clinical practice.</p>

<p>Introduction: Child sexual abuse remains a serious concern worldwide and in India, with increasing cases reported annually. Preschool children are highly vulnerable due to limited awareness and inability to distinguish safe from unsafe touch. Providing early, age-appropriate body-safety education helps children recognize, refuse, and report inappropriate behavior. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the demonstration method on knowledge regarding good touch and bad touch among preschoolers in Lucknow city.</p> <p>Material and Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was adopted. Thirty preschoolers aged 3–5 years were selected by purposive sampling. A structured, validated questionnaire with 20 items assessed knowledge. Each correct response scored 1 (maximum 20). After the pre-test, a demonstration using dolls, charts, and role-play was conducted, followed by a post-test. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.</p> <p>Results: The mean knowledge score improved from 2.23 ± 1.36 to 14.63 ± 2.05 after the intervention, with a mean gain of 12.30. The difference was highly significant t-stat=27.416, p &lt; 0.0001). No significant association was found between post-test knowledge and gender or residential area.</p> <p>Conclusion: The demonstration method significantly enhanced preschoolers’ knowledge on body safety. The approach is simple, cost-effective, and suitable for urban and rural settings. Incorporating such modules into preschool and community health programs can promote early prevention of child sexual abuse.</p>
