Multidetector Computer Tomography: Evaluation of Blunt Chest Trauma in Adults
Imaging plays an essential part of chest trauma care. By definition, the employed imaging technique in the emergency setting should reach the correct diagnosis as fast as possible. In severe chest blunt trauma, multidetector computer tomography (MDCT) has become part of the initial workup, mainly due to its high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of the technique for the detection and characte...
متن کاملMultidetector computed tomography of chest trauma: indications, technique and interpretation
BACKGROUND Chest traumas are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity, especially in the younger population.Methods Diagnostic imaging plays a key role in their management. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is the most important imaging method in this field. Its advantages include especially high speed and high geometric resolution in any plane.Results The method allows us to view ...
متن کاملroutine chest computed tomography and patient outcome in blunt trauma
conclusions performing the routine chest ct in high-energy blunt trauma patients (with a mean injury severity of 9), although leading to the diagnosis of some occult injuries, has no impact on the outcome and does not decrease the in-hospital stay and icu admission time. it seems that performing the routine chest ct in these patients may lead to overtreatment of nonsignificant injuries. the dec...
متن کاملRoutine Chest Computed Tomography and Patient Outcome in Blunt Trauma
BACKGROUND Computerized Tomography (CT) scan is gaining more importance in the initial evaluation of patients with multiple trauma, but its effect on the outcome is still unclear. Until now, no prospective randomized trial has been performed to define the role of routine chest CT in patients with blunt trauma. OBJECTIVES In view of the considerable radiation exposure and the high costs of CT ...
متن کاملThe use of chest computed tomography versus chest X-ray in patients with major blunt trauma.
INTRODUCTION Computed tomography (CT) scans are often used in the evaluation of patients with blunt trauma. This study identifies the clinical features associated with further diagnostic information obtained on a CT chest scan compared with a standard chest X-ray in patients sustaining blunt trauma to the chest. METHODS A 2-year retrospective survey of 141 patients who attended a Level 1 trau...
