title: [A new concept for rational emergency diagnosis of polytrauma patients].
abstract: To optimize the emergency care of patients with multiple injuries, a special emergency room with integrated radiological equipment has been developed. It consists of a linear array of a computed tomography system, a mobile C-arm with an integrated scattered radiation grid for conventional films and a C-arm fluorographic system. The intent is to avoid delay caused by transport and repositioning of the patient. It enables all necessary diagnostic procedures to be performed within a minimal amount of time. If there are no emergency patients, the room can be divided by a sliding door and the equipment can be used separately.
