[Effect of availability of computer tomography on activity in an emergency neuroradiological department (author's transl)].
Overall activity in an emergency neuroradiological department was altered when computed tomography facilities became available, as shown by comparative studies conducted during one year without and one year with the use of this investigational method. More examinations were conducted during the year the apparatus was available, and the diagnostic approach to patients with head or brain injuries was modified, computed tomography replacing the arteriography used as an initial examination during the first year. These findings can be related to the rapidity, safety, and diagnostic precision of computed tomography examinations.
