Evidence-based approach to using CT in spinal trauma

F A Mann et al. Eur J Radiol. 2003 Oct.

Abstract

Computed tomography has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment planning of the acutely injured spine. In the cervical spine, its appropriate use can improve outcome and save money. Although there are no clinical prediction rules validated outside of the cervical spine, these proven capabilities have been extrapolated to the thoracolumbar spine.
