title: MDCT arteriographic spectrum in acute blunt peripheral trauma--a pictorial review.
abstract: Unrecognized arterial injuries in patients with blunt peripheral trauma can cause significant morbidity. Rapid diagnosis and localization of arterial injury is required for choosing the optimal surgical strategy in patients with extremity trauma. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) arteriography provides an accurate, rapid, and noninvasive means for diagnosis of arterial injuries. We discuss and depict the spectrum of findings on MDCT arteriography in acute blunt peripheral trauma.
