BACKGROUND: The necessity of computed tomography (CT) has been questioned in pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) because of concerns related to radiation exposure. Distinguishing patients with lower and higher risk of clinically important TBI (ciTBI) is paramount to the optimal management of these patients.
