Comparative Study
[Whole body spiral CT in primary diagnosis of patients with multiple trauma in emergency situations].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of a fast whole body helical CT scanner for primary diagnosis in trauma patients. ⋯ Helical CT is a reliable and fast method to obtain vital information and to improve management planning in severely injured patients. It reduces the number of conventional x-ray examinations. In certain cases, additional x-rays of extremity fractures may be required.
