    Author: Hoshi H, Yuki Y, Kawano S, Kusuhara T, Takechi Y, Iwamoto I, Nakamura K, Watanabe K.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 1989; 7(5):223-6. PubMed ID: 2629035.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomography (CT) was carried out on 70 patients with blunt abdominal trauma. Damage to the abdominal organs was clearly demonstrated by CT. The positive rates of CT in traumatic lesions were higher than those of ultrasound (US). Intraperitoneal hemorrhage was well demonstrated by US. Serum GPT levels were significantly elevated in patients with liver damage (p less than 0.001). CT proved to be useful for detecting damage to organs in patients with abdominal trauma.
