What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of injuries diagnosed by Whole Body Computed Tomography (WBCT) that were not clinically suspected.

    Number of injuries diagnosed by WBCT that were not clinically suspected. Classification in 3 categories according to their management : * Potentially severe, that involve modification of patients management * Injuries that could require further investigation according to the symptoms * Minor injuries that require no further investigation or specific management
