Comparing the denver criteria sets for blunt trauma: a retrospective study of cases in Edmonton, Alberta
CONCLUSION: Use of the modified and expanded Denver criteria leads to the overuse of cerebrovascular imaging on patients suffering blunt force trauma.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The original Denver criteria may more appropriately identify subjects for further evaluation with CTA than the current standard, while retaining diagnostic efficacy for BCVI.PMID:37191023 | DOI:10.1259/bjr.20221116

A massz ív haemothorax modern kezelése
CONCLUSIONS: As long as the intensity of bleeding and patient's general status allows it, after drainage, the first therapeutic option - when accessible - should be DSA bleeding control. In cases which do not resolve after drainage, VATS evacuation of hematoma is a safe method used in the treatment of hemothorax. In the past 5 years, we used thoracoscopy in increasing numbers while treating this entity. Based on our results and the literature, we can safely state that the use of thoracoscopy in the treatment of hemothorax is a safe and reliable option in eligible patients, and the results are comparable with those treated ...

10,589 CT pulmonary angiograms: evaluating the yield of acute pulmonary embolism
CONCLUSIONS: Over 3 years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for CTPA examinations. The yield of acute PE has remained steady indicating a justified increase in demand. The yield of acute PE on CTPA within our centre is higher than the Royal College of Radiologists' suggested minimum of 15.4% which suggests the current guidelines used for the investigation of suspected acute PE within our centre are appropriate.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The guidelines and subsequent yield of acute PE on CTPA at our tertiary teaching hospital can be used as a reference standard for other similar institutes.PMID:35816548 | DOI...

CT angiograms for lower GI bleeding: the experience of a large UK teaching hospital
CONCLUSION: In our analysis of the typical LGIB population, CT-A has shown relatively low pick up rate of active bleeding. CT-A clearly has a role in the investigation of LGIB, but selection remains challenging.PMID:35100856 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2021.1387
