Description
Contrast-enhanced CT strategy is examined in relation to diagnostic delay in abdominal trauma. The focus includes bowel, diaphragmatic, pancreatic, abdominal-wall, penetrating, and blast injuries, radiological signs of hypovolaemia, and challenges that cause injuries to be missed.
Learning Objectives
- Apply an appropriate contrast-enhanced CT protocol for abdominal trauma.
- Recognise bowel, diaphragmatic, pancreatic, and abdominal-wall injuries.
- Assess penetrating and blast trauma and identify CT signs of hypovolaemia.
