    AbstractA brief overview of the imaging findings in craniocerebral missile injury is presented here. CT scanning has established itself as the primary imaging modality for the complex injuries seen in CMI as well as its acute and delayed complications. Plain x-ray, angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging have more limited but sometimes important roles in the management of these injuries. With regard to outcome prediction, imaging has also proved to be of some, albeit limited, usefulness, primarily as adjuncts to clinical criteria such as the GCS. Future research with CT as well as magnetic resonance imaging will likely expand the clinical role of these modalities, particularly in the realm of outcome analysis.
