Dynamic CT scanning of spinal column trauma.
Dynamic sequential computed tomographic scanning with automatic table incrementation uses low milliampere-second technique to eliminate tube cooling delays between scanning slices and, thus, markedly shortens examination times. A total of 25 patients with spinal column trauma involving 28 levels were studied with dynamic scans and retrospectively reviewed. Dynamic studies were considerably fast...

متن کاملTrauma calls: role of the general surgeon and CT scanning.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE General surgeons are required in only a minority of trauma call cases to assess for abdominal injuries. Computed tomography (CT) accurately detects blunt abdominal injuries and may have replaced the need for general surgeons at trauma calls. This study evaluated the role of general surgeons at trauma calls and assessed use of CT in cases of suspected abdominal trauma. ...
متن کاملSpinal instability as defined by the three-column spine concept in acute spinal trauma.
This article is a presentation of the concept of the three-column spine. The concept evolved from a retrospective review of 412 thoracolumbar spine injuries and observations on spinal instability. The posterior column consists of what Holdsworth described as the posterior ligamentous complex. The middle column includes the posterior longitudinal ligament, posterior annulus fibrosus, and posteri...
