Summary
This study aims to create a decision tool that helps doctors identify which blunt trauma patients truly need a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, and which can safely skip it. By analyzing 12,000 patients, researchers hope to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure and healthcare costs without missing serious injuries. The tool will be tested to ensure it is highly accurate before being used more widely.
