Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT in acute thoracoabdominal trauma. Methods The data of 50 patients with acute thoracoabdominal trauma who were diagnosed by B-ultrasound in the emergency department from November 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected and analyzed as the control group. The data of 50 patients with acute thoracoabdominal trauma who were diagnosed by multi-slice spiral CT in the emergency department from November 2023 to December 2024 were retrospectively collected and analyzed as the observation group. The diagnostic efficacy was compared. Results The diagnostic rate of multi-slice spiral CT was 90%, which was higher than that of B-ultrasound at 84%. There were 3 misdiagnoses with multi-slice spiral CT and 5 with B-ultrasound. The comparison was statistically significant, P < 0.05. Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT can diagnose acute thoracoabdominal trauma with a high accuracy rate. When there is suspicion of hemorrhage in solid organs, enhanced scanning should be used to assist in diagnosis.
