CTs should be ordered for children suspected of being abused only if clinical findings suggest they may be positive, according to a study published online in Pediatric Radiology.
CTs should be ordered for children suspected of being abused only if clinical findings suggest they may be positive, according to a study published online in Pediatric Radiology.
Incomplete history and concern for occult injury in children suspected of suffering abuse occasionally results in CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis, most of which are negative.
