title: [Radiodiagnosis of polytrauma].
abstract: The paper considers the organizational aspects of radiodiagnosis of polytrauma at the pre- and inpatient stages of care. Radiodiagnosis has been found to be inexpedient at inpatient stage of care. At the inpatient stage of care, there may be two ways to conduct diagnostic studies: 1) to concurrently use traditional X-ray and ultrasound studies and 2) to employ multislice spiral computed tomography as the method of the former stage in severe concomitant injury. Multislice spiral computed tomography has been established to be the method of choice in examining the patients with polytrauma, allowing for early identification of the whole spectrum of injuries in various anatomic regions.
