PY - 2020 T2 - Trauma, 9e AB - KEY POINTSImaging is a critical adjunct to the comprehensive evaluation of the trauma patient.Imaging protocols specific to blunt and penetrating trauma victims should be clearly defined and operationalized to enhance rapid imaging and patient throughput.Modern computed tomography (CT) technology and imaging protocols allow for high-resolution imaging of any body part.Advanced imaging exams, such as extremity and neck CT angiography, can now be integrated as a part of the initial imaging evaluation of the trauma patient.Multiphase CT can provide important information regarding the presence and character of vascular lesions, including active bleeding and solid organ pseudoaneurysms.
