Multi-detector row computed tomography in trauma - influence of the localization, size and density of active extravasation on subsequent clinical management

Abstract

Detection rate of active bleeding in extraabdominal localization and number of nonoperative treatment is increasing in trauma evaluated by whole-body multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT imaging). The aim of the study is to evaluate a MDCT detection of the active bleeding in trauma ptients, influence of the localization, size and density of active extravasation on subsequent clinical management.
