Neste trabalho descrevemos a frequência, padrão e tendência de uso da tomografia computadorizada (TC) em pacientes internados no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), de 2008 a 2011, no Brasil. Os dados foram extraídos de uma base de dados disponibilizada pelo SUS na Internet. Os exames de cabeça/pescoço foram o tipo de TC mais frequente ao longo do período de estudo. O uso da TC aumentou ao longo do tempo, sendo o maior crescimento observado para exames das extremidades.
