Nesselroth D, Klang E, Soffer S, et al. - This study was sought to assess the yield of head CT in the emergency department (ED) in different age groups and different referral indications.

The analysis included a total of 1536 adult patients with ED head CT. The results of this study exhibit the yield of ED head CT for acute findings for different age groups and for different referral indications. The frequency of acute findings elevated with age.
