New rule aims to protect Babies' brains from unnecessary radiation
NCT ID NCT03050970
Summary
This study tested a new medical decision rule (called PELICAN) designed to help doctors decide when a baby under 2 years old with a minor head bump needs a CT scan. The goal was to safely reduce the number of unnecessary CT scans, which expose young children to radiation, while still catching all serious brain injuries. It involved over 8,800 infants across France and compared the new rule to an existing standard.
