Abstract

Blunt abdominal trauma may represent an immediate threat to life and requires rapid diagnosis and treatment. A diagnostic tool is required for assessment of abdominal injuries since clinical examination and physical examination is unreliable in most of the cases. The management of patients with blunt abdominal injury has evolved greatly over the last few decades. Major changes in the diagnostics of hemodynamically stable patients with blunt trauma have occurred. Major changes in the diagnostics of hemodynamically stable patients with blunt trauma have occurred. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with the lack of radiation exposure and iodinated contrast material, is an attractive option for diagnosis in stable patient.
