Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
High rates of clinically relevant incidental findings by total-body CT scanning in trauma patients; results of the REACT-2 trial.
To determine whether there is a difference in frequency and clinical relevance of incidental findings detected by total-body computed tomography scanning (TBCT) compared to those by the standard work-up (STWU) with selective computed tomography (CT) scanning. ⋯ • Total-body CT scanning in trauma results in 1.5 times more incidental findings. • Evaluation by TBCT in trauma results in more patients with incidental findings. • In every category of clinical relevance, TBCT detects more incidental findings.
