Role of Contrast-Enhanced CT in the Evaluation of Abdominal Trauma: A Prospective Study

Abstract

Background Abdominal trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, necessitating accurate and timely diagnosis for effective management. Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) is widely utilized for evaluating abdominal injuries, but its diagnostic efficacy compared to other modalities like ultrasonography (FAST) and clinical examination warrants further investigation.This prospective study evaluates the role of contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) in the assessment of abdominal trauma, comparing its diagnostic accuracy with ultrasonography (FAST) and clinical examination
