Brief Summary   Infants and children frequently require sedation to prevent motion artifacts during radiological imaging. We compared intranasal dexmedetomidine premedication (2.5mcg/kg) with oral midazolam 0.5 mg/kg for sedation in children undergoing CT imaging. Children were randomized to one of the two groups Group M received 0.5 mg/Kg midazolam and group D received 2.5 mc/Kg intranasal dexmedetomidine. After 20-30 minutes IV line was placed. The child was then transferred to CT table for imaging. Wilton score were observed and noted at that time. According to the level of sedation and scan duration, the child received 0.5 –1mg/Kg I.V ketamine to achieve a level of deep sedation. Any movement, motion artifact or repeat scans reported by radiologist were noted.
