RESUMEN

One hundred children varying in age from newborn through four years were studied without sedation or anesthesia using a three-second CT scanner. Satisfactory scans were obtained in 99. The elimination of the hazards and morbidity of intramuscular sedation more than compensated for the extra effort required to scan these youngsters without any preparation.
