Thread subject: NEPI :: FAST vs DPL

Does anyone feel that DPL is an invaluable tool in the assessment of abdominal trauma?
Or, do you feel that in this day and age of FAST and 64 slice CTs, DPL is an unnecessary surgical extravagance frought with false positive results and risks of infection??
Or, do you feel that both have their own time and place... If so, when and where?
