Research Overview

The focus of George Taylor's current clinical research is the impact of imaging technologies on intermediate outcomes in children with acute abdominal pain. His goals are:

  • To identify the optimal imaging sequence for the diagnosis of pediatric appendicitis

  • To create useful triage mechanisms to better identify those patients who need urgent imaging

  • To develop methods for assessing long-term impact of imaging on quality of life.
