Abstract

Traumatic injuries are the leading cause of death in Americans under 45 years of age and the third most common cause of death for all Americans. Diagnostic imaging, in particular computed tomography (CT), has become essential in the evaluation of trauma patients because of its ability to provide rapid, accurate, and detailed information. CT scanning plays an important role in detecting injuries to the genitourinary system, including the adrenal glands, kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and genitalia. In addition, CT scanning can help identify actionable complications such as active hemorrhage, organ dysfunction, and fluid collections.
