The objective of our study was to identify relevant and reliable CT signs of bowel injury, to determine the overall performance of CT in detection of bowel injuries, and to establish the effect of the training level of radiologists on this performance. ⋯ Bowel injuries are challenging to diagnose on CT. Radiologists with various levels of experience and expertise can achieve accurate and reproducible results using a variety of CT criteria.

Acute elbow trauma in children: spectrum of injury revealed by MR imaging not apparent on radiographs.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency and significance of unrecognized bone or soft-tissue injury in pediatric patients with elbow trauma assessed with radiographs alone. ⋯ In children with elbow trauma, MR imaging reveals a broad spectrum of bone and soft-tissue injury beyond that recognizable radiographically. However, the additional information afforded by MR imaging has little bearing on treatment or clinical outcome.
