TLDR
This paper presents examples of various injuries in trauma patients depicted in abdominal CT images and hopes these images provide a resource for radiologists, surgeons and medical officers, as well as a learning tool for medical students.Abstract:
Blunt abdominal trauma can cause multiple internal injuries. However, these injuries are often difficult to accurately evaluate, particularly in the presence of more obvious external injuries. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is currently used to assess clinically stable patients with blunt abdominal trauma. CT can provide a rapid and accurate appraisal of the abdominal viscera, retroperitoneum and abdominal wall, as well as a limited assessment of the lower thoracic region and bony pelvis. This paper presents examples of various injuries in trauma patients depicted in abdominal CT images. We hope these images provide a resource for radiologists, surgeons and medical officers, as well as a learning tool for medical students.read more

An experience with blunt abdominal trauma: evaluation, management and outcome.
TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of 71 patients of BAT who were admitted in Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences hospital within a span of 18 months was done, finding that 70% of splenic, liver and renal injuries can be managed conservatively where as hollow organs need laparotomy in most of the cases.
Management of liver trauma.
TL;DR: A ten-year experience with the management of liver trauma is reported, stressing the role of selective arteriography and the need for biliary drainage to prevent postoperative leakages.

TL;DR: Contrast-enhanced spiral CT plays a valuable role in selecting hemodynamically stable patients with splenic vascular injury who may be treated with transcatheter therapy and potentially improves the success rate of nonsurgical management.

TL;DR: Injuries of the pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts due to blunt trauma are relatively uncommon and difficult to detect but are associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially if diagnosis is delayed.
