Imaging plays a critical role in the evaluation of patients with blunt abdominal trauma. In most institutions, computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice when evaluating such patients. The purpose of this review is to highlight current techniques in trauma imaging and to review CT findings associated with solid organ, bowel, mesenteric, and diaphragmatic injury. In particular, emphasis is placed on the use of multidetector CT technology (MDCT), especially 64-row detector CT. The role of various techniques, including the use of oral and intravenous contrast, as well as the potential benefit of delayed imaging, is discussed.
