Planning
Choice of modality
According to US guidelines:[1]
- The initial choice is generally CT of the abdomen and pelvis in trauma if the patient is stable enough for the exam.
- In unstable patients, X-ray of the thorax, X-ray of the abdomen and pelvis and FAST scan are preferable if they can be done with relatively little interference with resuscitation.
