Multidetector CT Findings of Bowel Transection in Blunt Abdominal Trauma
OBJECTIVE Though a number of CT findings of bowel and mesenteric injuries in blunt abdominal trauma are described in literature, no studies on the specific CT signs of a transected bowel have been published. In the present study we describe the incidence and new CT signs of bowel transection in blunt abdominal trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the incidence of bowel transection in...
متن کاملCT following blunt abdominal trauma in children
Guidelines for imaging children who have suffered major blunt trauma have been produced by a sub-group of the British Society of Paediatric Radiologists (BSPR). These were developed after it was recognised that children are ‘not just small adults’ and have different injury patterns. This is due to differences in relative anatomical proportions (for example, small children have a relatively larg...
متن کاملMultidetector CT evaluation of active extravasation in blunt abdominal and pelvic trauma patients.
Timely localization of a bleeding source can improve the efficacy of trauma management, and improvements in the technology of computed tomography (CT) have expedited the work-up of the traumatized patient. The classic pattern of active extravasation (ie, administered contrast agent that has escaped from injured arteries, veins, or urinary tract) at dual phase CT is a jet or focal area of hypera...
متن کاملBlunt diaphragmatic lesions: Imaging findings and pitfalls
Blunt diaphragmatic lesions (BDL) are uncommon in trauma patients, but they should be promptly recognized as a delayed diagnosis increases morbidity and mortality. It is well known that BDL are often overlooked at initial imaging, mainly because of distracting injuries to other organs. Sonography may directly depict BDL only in a minor number of cases. Chest X-ray has low sensitivity in detecti...
متن کاملBlunt upper abdominal trauma: evaluation by CT.
CT is the technique of choice for initial examination of hemodynamically stable patients after blunt abdominal trauma. It is highly sensitive, specific, and accurate for use in detecting the presence or absence of injury and defining its extent. Nonoperative management of many posttraumatic injuries, particularly in the liver, spleen, and kidney, is possible in part because of the diagnostic us...
