NCT ID NCT01785368

Summary

This study tested whether using new guidelines for ordering imaging tests (like X-rays or CT scans) in the emergency department would lead to more accurate test results and reduce patient wait times. It involved over 8,500 patients. Researchers compared what happened before and after the guidelines were put in place to see if they improved how doctors chose tests.
