Portable CT scanner for children at bedside
This study tests a portable CT scanner that can be brought to your child's bedside. It may help children who are too small or too sick to travel to the radiology department get the imaging they need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 5 years old or small enough to fit in a portable CT scanner (about 14 inches wide).
- Your child's doctor thinks a CT scan of the chest, belly, or pelvis would help manage their condition.
- Your child is too sick or unstable to travel safely to the hospital for a scan.
- Your child is not too large for the scanner to work safely.
- A parent or guardian can agree to the study.
