In a child the abdominal organs are more at risk from blunt injury, the reasons for this include the fact that the organs are relatively more anterior and inferior and lie inferior to the ribs rather than behind them as in an adult. Additionally, paediatric ribs are cartilaginous and so although rib fractures are less likely, compressive injuries secondary to the relative elasticity of the rib cage are far more common. The computed tomography (CT) features of abdominal visceral injury include lacerations, subcapsular or parenchymal haematomas, active haemorrhage, and vascular injuries, all of which the radiologists must be familiar with. Although there is an increasing trend toward non-operative management of abdominal solid organ injury, radiologists must also be aware of the key imaging features that suggest the need for surgical or interventional radiology input. Based on our experience as one of the largest Level 1 trauma centres in Europe, the aims of this educational exhibit are to: (i) Provide a pictorial review the spectrum of findings in blunt injury to the liver, kidneys and spleen as demonstrated on CT. (ii) Discuss the role of Interventional Radiology in cases of associated vascular injury. Read More

Iterative reconstruction is an evolving reconstruction technique in CT that has so far been associated with a typical image appearance that many radiologists are still unfamiliar with. This educational presentation aims to demystify the technique by demonstrating the origin of the alteration in image quality and providing readers with an insight as to its benefits. Read More
