The role of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in the detection of blunt traumatic intra abdominal injury: our experience in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA), Kuantan, Pahang.

Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is the imaging modality of choice in assessing clinically stable patients with blunt abdominal trauma. This study assessed the role of MSCT in the detection of intra abdominal injury caused by blunt trauma in our centre within a two-year-period (2008-2009). A to...
