There has been no significant change in the age distribution of patients undergoing neuroradiological investigations after the introduction of computerized tomography (CT) in South Australia. The referral pattern has not changed, and adequate clinical neurological assessment was apparent both before and after the availability of CT, with the application of CT being selective rather than additive. Initial impression suggests some reduction in bed utilization after the introduction of CT.
在南澳大利亚引入计算机断层扫描(CT)后,接受神经放射学检查的患者年龄分布没有显著变化。转诊模式没有改变,在CT可用之前和之后,充分的临床神经学评估都很明显,CT的应用是选择性的而非附加性的。初步印象表明,引入CT后床位利用率有所下降。
