Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to report our experience with regard to imaging of mass casualty incidents (MCIs). Subjects and methods: Following a bomb attack, 150 casualties were referred to our hospital. Radiographs and nonenhanced CT scans were performed in 28 individuals. Results: Major injuries were seen in 12 individuals, which were limited only to the brain (n=2), facial bones (n=2), and extremities and soft tissues (n=8). Conclusion: In MCIs, imaging should be fast, in order to help identify major injuries that need immediate management and to help in the triage of injured individuals. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
