Summary

Pediatric head trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for children/adolescents. The current standard of care regarding imaging modality when concerned for an acute head injury is CT. This exposes children to radiation that may predispose to future malignancy. Rapid MRI is a test that eliminates radiation and has expanded uses in multiple other areas. This study is evaluating it for pediatric acute head trauma.
