Implementation of Institutional Triaging Algorithms Decreases Head and Neck MDCT Use in Blunt Trauma.

Background Multidetector CT (MDCT) enables rapid and accurate diagnosis of head and neck (HN) injuries in patients with blunt trauma (BT). However, MDCT is overused, and appropriate selection of patients for imaging could improve workflow. Purpose To investigate the effect of implementing clinical triaging algorithms on use of MDCT in the HN in patients who have sustained BT.

Corneal Densitometry as a Tool to Measure Epithelial Ingrowth After Laser In Situ Keratomileusis.

Purpose: This study evaluates the correlation between corneal densitometry and epithelial ingrowth (EI) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: Corneal densitometry of 3 patients who developed EI after LASIK was measured with the Oculus Pentacam. Corneal densitometry readings of each patient were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively after ingrowth was discovered.
