Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of multidetector CT (MDCT) scan images with soft tissue and bone algorithm reconstruction in nine patients for investigation of head and facial trauma. We compared these MDCT scans with the conventional brain CT scans and facial bone CT scans of eight patients with head and facial trauma. The overall radiation dose did not differ significantly between the two groups (Mann–Whitney test, p = 0.370) but the MDCT scans with soft tissue and bone algorithm reconstruction avoided overlapping scan range radiation exposure, especially to the eye and lower half of the brain.
