Guiding CT scans for belly and pelvis injuries after blunt trauma
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.

Who can take part
- You were treated in the emergency department for a blunt injury (not a penetrating injury).
