The use of the Statscan digital X-ray unit in paediatric polytrauma

Richard D Pitcher et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2009 May.

Abstract

We present a 3-year review of clinical paediatric experience with the Statscan (Lodox Systems, Johannesburg, South Africa), a low-dose, digital, whole-body, slit-scanning X-ray machine. While focusing on the role of the unit in paediatric polytrauma, insight into its applications in other paediatric settings is provided.
