Comparative Study
[Acute diagnosis of thoracic injuries of therapeutic relevance in severely injured and polytraumatized patients].
To determine the value of supine chest radiography in comparison to orientating chest CT in the initial diagnostic evaluation of severely polytraumatised patients. ⋯ Supine chest radiography of polytraumatised patients is clearly inferior to orientating chest CT in demonstrating posttraumatic lesions; obtaining therapeutically relevant information justifies the additionally needed small amount of time.
