NCT ID NCT03490929
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound with contrast dye can find internal belly injuries in children after a hard hit or fall, just as well as a CT scan. CT scans use radiation and require moving the child, while this ultrasound can be done at the bedside with no radiation. About 146 stable children will be tested to see how accurate the ultrasound is compared to the standard CT.
