New scoring systems aim to protect kids from unnecessary radiation

NCT ID NCT06729528

Summary

This study tested two scoring systems (PePCI and ManTIS) to help emergency doctors decide when an injured child truly needs a full-body CT scan. It involved 684 pediatric trauma patients in Turkey. The goal was to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure from scans that might not be needed, while still ensuring serious injuries are found.
