Reducing Radiation Dose in Emergency CT Scans While Maintaining Equal Image Quality: Just a Promise or Reality for Severely Injured Patients?
Figure 2
Image acquisition with the routine CT protocol reconstructed by filtered back projection (FBP) without IR. In (a) the white arrow points to a small pneumothorax in the lingula segment. In (b) a hepatic laceration in liver segments 2 and 4a is displayed. Notice the semicircular soft tissue emphysema on the right side. In (c) the arrow points to the fracture of the left transverse process of L3 with no major dislocation and a corresponding haematoma of the psoas muscle.
