ObjectiveWe will review the epidemiology of blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVIs) and the rationale for screening. Current imaging modalities used to screen for BCVIs will be discussed with an emphasis on CT angiography.ConclusionScreening for BCVIs can decrease rates of postinjury complications, such as stroke. The use of standardized screening criteria and the appropriate imaging modalities can allow early detection of BCVIs and effective intervention.
