First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tested two scoring systems, PePCI and ManTIS, to help doctors decide whether injured children need a whole-body CT scan. Researchers looked at 684 children in the emergency department to see if these scores could accurately predict the need for imaging while reducing unnecessary radiation exposure. The goal is to make CT use safer for children by avoiding scans that aren't needed.
