CT scans could sharpen diagnosis of rare heart defect in kids
NCT ID NCT07247435
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how CT scans can help doctors identify heart and blood vessel problems in children with Tetralogy of Fallot, a serious heart condition present at birth. About 37 children up to 12 years old will get a CT scan to find hidden issues and help plan surgery. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment for these young patients.
