    Body computed tomography (CT) is valuable for complex diagnostic challenges when other methods fail. Radiologists should lead in determining the clinical utility of CT scans.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Over 7,500 body CT examinations have been conducted across multiple institutions.
    • Body CT is recognized for its utility in resolving specific diagnostic issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the significant role of body CT in clinical practice.
    • To emphasize the importance of clinical expertise in defining CT's usefulness.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of experience with over 7,500 body CT examinations.
    • Analysis of cases where CT provided crucial diagnostic information.

    Main Results:

    • Body CT proves particularly useful in cases with confusing results from other diagnostic procedures.
    • CT effectively solves specific diagnostic problems, enhancing patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • The clinical, research, and experimental utility of computed tomography should be determined by radiologists and their colleagues.
    • Clinical judgment is paramount in assessing the value of advanced imaging techniques like CT.
