Moderators: Ferco Berger & Kelly Harper

In this session, delegates will learn about a selected few topics that deal with imaging of the trauma patient and are often found to be challenging. They will come away with a better understanding of these injuries and how to best help trauma patients survive their injuries.

At the end of this session, delegates will be able to:

• Describe imaging features that influence trauma patient management, focusing on specific injury patterns in the head, neck, and abdomen.
• Explain the grading systems for selected trauma-related injuries and their clinical implications.
• Reflect on the role of the radiologist as an integral member of the trauma team and its impact on patient care.

Blunt Cerebrovascular Injuries
Shobhit Mathur

This presentation covers the critical role of imaging in identifying blunt cerebrovascular injuries, with a focus on accurate recognition, grading, and navigating common diagnostic challenges—including key pitfalls and mimics. Practical imaging tips will highlight how to avoid these traps and ensure prompt detection that can significantly influence stroke prevention and trauma care.

Pancreatic Trauma
Michael Patlas

Pancreatic trauma is an uncommon entity requiring prompt detection and management. This presentation will describe clinical features, American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) technique, and imaging findings in patients with pancreatic trauma.

COI: Dr. Patlas reports financial relationships with Elsevier and Springer in the form of royalties.

Bowel and Mesenteric Injuries
Francesca Iacobellis

The presentation will focus on the imaging findings of bowel and mesenteric injuries, emphasizing the role of CT in early diagnosis, injury grading, and guiding management decisions. Clinical cases and key radiologic signs will be discussed to highlight practical approaches in emergency settings.
