Title:
Routine repeat computed tomography of the head in patients with mild traumatic brain injury: is it really necessary?
Purpose:
Computed tomography of the head (CTH) is the primary imaging modality for traumatic brain injury (TBI), but the necessity of routine repeat CTH (RRCTH) in mild TBI remains unclear. We aim to assess whether RRCTH within 24–48 h after mild TBI influences clinical decision-making and patient management.
