New scoring systems aim to protect kids from unnecessary radiation
NCT ID NCT06729528
Summary
This study tested two scoring systems to help doctors decide when injured children in the emergency room truly need a full-body CT scan. The goal was to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure, which can increase a child's long-term cancer risk. Researchers prospectively evaluated 684 pediatric trauma patients in Turkey to see if the PePCI and ManTIS scores could safely guide imaging decisions.
