    AbstractThe purpose of this retrospective monocenter study was to evaluate a monophasic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) protocol with a fixed delay for patients with polytrauma. A total of 2086 patients were evaluated retrospectively. For the intravenous contrast media, we used a fixed protocol with an injection for an adult patient of 120 mL at a rate of 2 mL/s. In the venous phase, we detected injuries of parenchyma and localized ongoing bleedings in regard to the clinical follow-up, with regard to the easy feasibility and the quickness with only one scan. Monophasic venous injection protocol can detect all injuries in the whole-body MDCT for patients with polytrauma.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
