NCT ID NCT03473249
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound with contrast dye can find internal belly injuries in young children (under 8) who have had a blunt injury, like from a fall or car accident. The goal is to see if this method works as well as a CT scan, which uses radiation. About 120 children will take part, and the results will help doctors decide if the ultrasound can be used instead of CT to reduce radiation exposure.
