59. NEUROLOGIC DEFICIT In my view, ANY neurologic deficit, extant or transient, is MAJOR trauma, and will need CT followed by MRI.
60. Any abnormality on Plain Films or worrisome examination: do CT! Remember: Fractures often come in 2’s and 3’s. The more serious injury may be the one that is occult.
61. Remember: The lesions are the SAME regardless of the imaging modality Plain films are still the most common modality. If you learn on them, you can translate your knowledge to CT and MRI.
