First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound with contrast dye can find internal belly injuries in children after a hard hit, just as well as a CT scan. CT scans use radiation and can be stressful for kids. The goal is to see if this safer, bedside ultrasound can replace the CT. About 146 children will take part.
