Blunt upper abdominal trauma: evaluation by CT Wolfman NT; Bechtold RE; Scharling ES; Meredith JWAJR Am J Roentgenol 1992[Mar]; 158 (3): 493-501CT 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 usefulness of CT. CT can be used effectively to visualize the progression of liver and spleen injuries in those patients chosen for conservative management. CT helps in treatment decisions in patients with renal injury by defining the character and extent and distinguishing minor from severe renal trauma. Posttraumatic injuries to the pancrease, bowel, and mesentery can be detected with CT. In these areas, however, signs may be subtle, and a significant injury may be missed on an initial examination.|*Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH]|Abdominal Injuries/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Wounds, Nonpenetrating/*diagnostic imaging[MESH] |
