Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) of the head provides the ability to rapidly evaluate patients
with acute head injuries. Moreover CT aids in surgical planning, prognosticating outcome
and recovery time, and monstoring nonsurgical injuries. The authors review the ways
in which CT is employed in a multiple trauma center.
