Groundbreaking Coventry University research could provide Paramedics with crucial and potentially life-saving assistance when treating pedestrians hurt in road accidents. A detailed database of pedestrian injuries is being developed alongside a mathematical model, which can reverse-engineer pedestrian collisions and produce first-hand virtual CT scans from simple photographs of a patient’s injuries and the vehicle involved. These virtual CT scans of the body can inform paramedics, in seconds, about the victim’s potential internal injuries per organ, enabling the correct treatment at the scene. The information could also be sent to a hospital, thus speeding up the triage and improving the treatment of the

Research could hand life-saving boost to paramedics as seen on The Hippocratic Post.
