2.5  Diagnostic Algorithm

2.5.1  General Considerations

Conventional X-ray is no longer the standard in radiological imaging for cranio-facial trauma detection; this is now carried out by CT imaging. CT is widely available and allows fast scanning of the patient. Soft

and hard tissue damage is reliably demonstrated and a first fast overview of the images can be done to identify relevant lesions requiring immediate surgery, such as intracranial hemorrhage or splenic rupture. The CT datasets can then be analyzed thoroughly in an offline situation at the computer workstation, while the patient is brought to the operating room or otherwise managed by the trauma team. MRI is not the primary imaging modality after trauma, although it is sensitive
