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.

This study tests a new software called Precise Image that may make CT scans clearer for children and teens. It uses existing scans to see if the software improves image quality without extra radiation.
This study tests whether a lower-radiation CT scan can work as well as a standard one for children. It aims to provide clear images while reducing radiation exposure.
This study tests a new, fast, and quiet AI-powered PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of children with suspected cancer. It aims to make the imaging experience easier and more comfortable for kids.
This study tests a new type of CT scanner that creates detailed images using different energy levels. The goal is to see how well this scanner works in adults of healthy weight, which may lead to clearer scans with less radiation for patients.
This study tests whether a “next generation” computer method can improve how CT scan images are created. You may be eligible if you need a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis (and/or the chest) as part of your care.
This study tests whether a small, portable MRI scanner can safely take pictures of the brain in seriously ill children who may have brain injury from lack of oxygen. It could help doctors diagnose and treat these children faster, without moving them from the ICU.
