Sixteen-Slice Computed Tomographic Angiography is a Reliable Noninvasive Screening Test for Clinically Significant Blunt Cerebrovascular Injuries

Abstract

CTA detected all clinically significant injuries during this study period. Liberal screening with 16-slice CTA is appropriate and is likely to miss very few significant injuries. A multicenter trial will help to clarify risk factors and the accuracy of noninvasive diagnostic modalities.
