| Opplysninger | Doktorgradsavhandling This thesis focuses on diagnostic imaging in potentially severely injured patients admitted to the University Hospital of North Norway. Imaging is important for timely initiation of treatment and survival after trauma. The use of standardized whole body computer tomography (SWBCT) is increasing. However, the ionizing radiation used may cause a small risk for induction of cancer later in life. The aim of this audit was to characterize the patients, validate the injury coding in the National trauma registry, and describe the diagnostic imaging used and doses delivered, to evaluate the degree of adherence to the International commission of radiological protection’s (ICRP) justification principles for dose optimization.
