Clinical trials: Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma (FAST)
Diagnostic Abdominal Ultrasonography, Trauma Injury
Transducer Selection in the Speed and Quality of Image Acquisition in FAST Exams
The Focused Assessment of Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is a rapid point-of-care ultrasound exam performed on blunt and penetrating trauma patients who are too critically injured to be transported to a CT scanner.
