Is utilisation of computed tomography justified in clinical practice? Part 1: application in the emergency department.

Computed tomography (CT) is currently a widely available imaging technique in clinical practice. Technical developments of CT imaging, especially the emergence of multislice CT, with increased scanning speed and volume, higher spatial and temporal resolution, have significantly enhanced the diagnos...
