Unified total body CT image with multiple organ specific windowings: validating improved diagnostic accuracy and speed in trauma cases.

ABSTRACT: Total-body CT scans are useful in saving trauma patients; however, interpreting numerous images with varied window settings slows injury detection. We developed an algorithm for "unified total-body CT image with multiple organ-specific windowings (Uni-CT)", and assessing its impact on physician accuracy and speed in trauma CT interpretation. From November 7, 2008, to June 19, 2020, 40 cases of total-body CT images for blunt trauma with multiple injuries, were collected from the emergency department of Osaka General Medical Center and randomly divided into two groups. In half of the cases, the Uni-CT algorithm using semantic segmentation assigned visibility-friendly window settings to each organ. Four physicians with varying levels of experience interpreted 20 cases using the algorithm and
