The Role Of Helical CT in Emergency Department

Abstract

The study aims to determine the role of helical CT in emergency department. The study takes 5000 patient from deferent emergency department as fallows:- Neurological emergencies. Chest emergencies.entire chest with excellent aortic opacification during this 70-second delay, beginning the chest CT scanning at 25 seconds and the abdominal CT scanning at 70 seconds after the start of the injection. On this single CT scan, one can search for injuries of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The availability of helical scanning and the introduction of this combined scanning protocol has substantially decreased the need for more lengthy and costly angiographic procedures in those patients suspected of having aortic injury. CT is an important modality for diagnosing diseases. It gives greater diagnostic accuracy than conventional X-rays. CT units which while offering highly beneficial clinical information also cause considerably large radiation hazard to the patients. Complete and accurate CT assessment of emergency patients requires the routine use of optimal CT protocols.
