title: Computed tomography in the management of paediatric abdominal trauma.
abstract: Since the installation of a whole body computed tomography (CT) unit at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children in March 1978, it has been shown to play an invaluable role in the management of abdominal trauma in selected cases. Our experience with 16 cases is presented, and the advantages of CT over alternative diagnostic aids are discussed.
