Since its invention, computed tomography (CT) has played a critical and increasingly important role in the workup and management of acutely injured patients. As an adjunct to trauma proto­cols and algorithms, in hemodynamically stable patients, CT provides rapid assessment and diag­nosis of injuries in multiple body cavities, guid­ing additional triage of injuries and therapeutic interventions. The following chapters will focus on the specific roles for CT within individual body regions, discuss the role for CT in specific patient populations (e.g., children, patients with renal failure), and discuss new developments on the horizon as CT technology and image inter­pretation continue to evolve. The goal of this chapter is to introduce the role of CT within the larger trauma system and to establish the histori­cal context in which modern CT finds itself. Understanding how CT fits into overall trauma algorithms and how its role has changed over time sets the stage for its continued evolution.
