Sponsor
Duke University
Enrollment
25 participants
Start Date
Nov 10, 2025
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
A special kind of CT scanner that can move around (called a mobile CT) is already approved by the FDA to take pictures of adult and pediatric heads. This study wants to see if the same machine can safely take pictures of the chest and belly (abdomen) in children. This may benefit pediatric patients who may need a CT but are otherwise unable to be safely transported to the radiology department.

- Patients who are deemed clinically unsafe to travel based on medical conditions as determined by their primary treatment team.
Exclusion Criteria2
- Size precludes safe operation of the CT gantry
