Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Prospective randomized trial of a modified standard multislice CT protocol for the evaluation of multiple trauma patients].
To evaluate whether modification of a standard multislice CT (MSCT) protocol might improve the diagnostic work flow in patients with multiple trauma without relevant loss of image quality. ⋯ Applying a modified MSCT protocol without gantry angulation and arm elevation can significantly decrease radiation exposure and examination time in multiple trauma patients without relevant loss of diagnostic image information and, consequently, has the potential of improving the diagnostic process and prognosis in multiple trauma patients.
