Summary
This study tested a simple checklist to help doctors decide if a baby under 2 with a minor head injury needs a CT scan. The goal was to safely reduce the number of scans, which expose children to radiation. Researchers checked the rule in over 8,800 children to see if it could spot serious brain injuries while avoiding unnecessary tests.
