Abstract
The microdose radiology system produces a large-field examination within 30 s on a video monitor. This video image can be manipulated in the same manner as a computed tomography (CT) scan. The system was installed at the Maryland [USA] Institute for Emergency Services (MIEMS) to examine severely injured patients. No major abnormalities were overlooked during the examination of these patients. The microdose system is useful in providing extensive radiologic information immediately applicable to the care of massively traumatized patients.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
