متن کاملA multicenter, randomized controlled trial of immediate total-body CT scanning in trauma patients (REACT-2)
BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) scanning has become essential in the early diagnostic phase of trauma care because of its high diagnostic accuracy. The introduction of multi-slice CT scanners and infrastructural improvements made total-body CT scanning technically feasible and its usage is currently becoming common practice in several trauma centers. However, literature provides limited evi...
