NEW CONCEPT TO OPTIMIZE EMERGENCY DIAGNOSES IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLEINJURIES

To optimize the emergency care of patients with multiple injuries, a s pecial emergency room with integrated radiological equipment has been developed. It consists of a linear array of a computed tomography syst em, a mobile C-arm with an integrated scattered radiation grid for con ventional films and a C-arm fluorographic system. The intent is to avo id delay caused by transport and repositioning of the patient. It enab les all necessary diagnostic procedures to be performed within a minim al amount of time. If there are no emergency patients, the room can be divided by a sliding door and the equipment can be used separately.
