The treatment of severe trauma patients requires a fast and accurate method to diagnose life-threatening conditions. Computerized tomography (CT)-PANSCAN has been widely used for the last 20 years to diagnose many patients in critical condition. However, no research has been performed into the efficacy of CT-PANSCAN. This research aims to compare the mortality rate of trauma patients who underwent CT-PANSCAN versus conventional CT scan.
