title: [Results and assessment of computerized tomography in the initial diagnosis in polytrauma].
abstract: In a period from 1984 to 1986 (T-scan was used as acute diagnostic in 74 polytraumatized patients. The patients were brought by emergency car or helicopter during or shortly after shock treatment directly to the computerized tomography. In all patients several regions of the body (head, thorax, abdomen, extremities) were examined in the (T-scan. Nearly two third of the patients (n = 58) were examined because of an uncertain abdominal trauma. In 27 of these patients pathological results were found, which have been followed by immediate laparotomy. Besides the high efficiency one more advantage of the method is its non-invasivity.
