New study aims to cut unnecessary radiation in injured kids
NCT ID NCT06729528
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
