Pediatrics Mobile CT

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pediatric Abdominal Imaging, Pediatric Imaging

In brief

A special kind of CT scanner that can move around (called a mobile CT) is already approved by the FDA to take pictures of adult and pediatric heads. This study wants to see if the same machine can safely take pictures of the chest and belly (abdomen) in children. This may benefit pediatric patients who may need a CT but are otherwise unable to be safely transported to the radiology department.
