AbstractGiven the magnitude of the problem of blunt abdominal trauma, we have the opportunity, through abdominal CT, of making a great impact on the health care of many patients. Through the efforts of early investigators and with continued refinements, great progress has been made in developing CT as an accurate, reliable emergency modality. With meticulous technique and careful interpretation, even subtle visceral, bowel, and mesenteric injuries can be detected. Close monitoring by an experienced tomographer and a good working relationship with referring clinicians can lead to prompt and appropriate clinical decisions.
