Summary
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors decide if a head CT scan is really needed after a mild head injury. Researchers will collect blood samples from 350 adults with mild head trauma and see if the test results match the need for imaging. The goal is to reduce unnecessary CT scans and improve patient care.
