Association between a single-pass whole-body computed tomography policy and survival after blunt major trauma: a retrospective cohort study
INTRODUCTION Single-pass, whole-body computed tomography (pan-scan) remains a controversial intervention in the early assessment of patients with major trauma. We hypothesized that a liberal pan-scan policy is mainly an indicator of enhanced process quality of emergency care that may lead to improved survival regardless of the actual use of the method. METHODS This retrospective cohort study ...
متن کاملSystematic review: effect of whole-body computed tomography on mortality in trauma patients
BACKGROUND The initial diagnostic evaluation and management of trauma patients is mainly based on Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines worldwide. Based on ATLS principles, conventional diagnostics such as conventional radiography (CR) and focused abdominal sonography in trauma (FAST) should precede selective use of CT. Whole-body CT (WBCT) is highly accurate and allows detection of li...
متن کاملClinical and prognostic significance of bone marrow abnormalities in the appendicular skeleton detected by low-dose whole-body multidetector computed tomography in patients with multiple myeloma
Clinical significance of medullary abnormalities in the appendicular skeleton (AS) detected by low-dose whole-body multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) was investigated. A total of 172 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) (n=17), smoldering MM (n=47) and symptomatic MM (n=108) underwent low-dose MDCT. CT values (CTv) ...
متن کاملProstate cancer with cyst formation detected by whole body positron emission tomography/computed tomography: A case report
The present study reports a case of prostate adenocarcinoma with cyst formation. A 72-year-old male diagnosed with multiple lung metastases at a local clinic was referred to Tokai University Hachioji Hospital (Tokyo, Japan) for detection of a primary lesion. Whole body positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed strong accumulation of [18F]-fluoro-deoxy-2-glucose (FDG) in the small ...
