The figure shows a marked increase in the number of trauma scans after the introduction of WBCT. The change in the standard imaging approach is further demonstrated by the consecutive decrease in (conventional) chest radiography. A high proportion of patients underwent FAST. This proportion remained almost unchanged during the study period. The whiskers indicate the upper and lower limits of the 95% confidence interval
