CT in head trauma: a review

J N Diaconis, K C Rao

    The Journal of Computed Tomography
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized head trauma diagnosis by identifying masses, bleeding, and swelling. This imaging technique allows for noninvasive, sequential studies, improving patient management and understanding of long-term effects.
