NCT ID NCT07166926
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile CT scanner, already approved for head scans, can safely take pictures of the chest and belly in children under 5 or those too fragile to move. Researchers will check if the images are good enough for doctors to make a diagnosis. The goal is to make CT scans easier and safer for very sick children.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mobile CT scanner (SOMATOM On.site)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow bedside CT scans for children who are too sick to travel to the radiology department, reducing stress and risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study (25 participants) focused on image quality, not on treating disease. The scanner may not produce acceptable images for all children.
