Abstract Abdominal trauma represents a main daycare activity in radiology. Nonsurgical treatment has become the standard of care in hemodynamically stable abdominal trauma patients as a result of comprehensive assessment of injury lesions by imaging.Advances in CT technology, particularly multidetector scanning, have decreased the time required for scans. At the same time, the image quality has improved and the information has become rapidly available.CECT is the imaging modality of choice in the evaluation and management of renal trauma as well as any associated injuries. MDCT can give accurate information about the status of the renal parenchyma, blood vessels, and collecting system because this technique can cover a target organ in a short time and with a thin section slice. It demonstrates the damage tissue extent, perirenal hemorrhage, urine extravasation and renal pedicle or vascular injuries. Although the central, deep, retroperitoneal location of most parts of the duodenum protects it against frequent injury, the morbidity and mortality rates for duodenal injuries remain high. Presence of Extraluminal air or oral CM, or both are specific signs of duodenal perforation and are useful in differentiating duodenal perforation from hematoma. Pancreatic injury is rare, compared with other solid organ injury, however it is more common in children and adolescents because they have less retroperitoneal fat to act as a protective buffer. |
