Development of injury risk models to guide CT evaluation in the emergency department after motor vehicle collisions.
CONCLUSION: This study successfully demonstrated the ability for internal injury risk models to accurately identify occupants at low risk for internal injury in individual body regions. This represents a step towards incorporating telemetry data into a clinical tool to guide physicians in the use of CT for the evaluation of MVC victims.
