Human-centered CT-based CADx Tools for Traumatic Torso Hemorrhage
Trauma is responsible for 180,000 deaths annually in the United States and accounts for 59% of deaths in the population younger than 45 years. 86% of preventable deaths are related to sequalae of massive torso hemorrhage. Rapid precision diagnostic tools are needed to triage patients for early activation of massive transfusion protocols and urgent surgical or angiographic hemostatic intervention to circumvent the vicious cycle of acidosis, coagulopathy, hypothermia, and death resulting from exsanguination. Whole-body CT angiography (WBCTA) is the workhorse screening and surgical planning modality for torso hemorrhage. Lethal but preventable hemorrhage typically arises from pelvic fractures…
