Official title
Contrast Enhanced Ultrasonography for Blunt Abdominal Trauma Imaging in Children
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Children with blunt abdominal trauma often get a CT as the first line imaging to evaluate for intra-abdominal organ injury. CT scans have some downsides with regard to radiation exposure, costs, and need for transport. Contrast enhanced ultrasonography has recently shown some promise as a way to detect intra-abdominal organ injury and may be able to replace the need for conventional CT scanning, without the need for ionizing radiation and the ability to be performed at the bedside.
