Abstract Pelvic fractures are severe and disabling injuries. Comprehensive radiographic evaluation includes plain radiographs of the pelvis such as anteroposterior (AP), inlet and outlet views, but plain radiographs are not always accurate in assessment of displacement’s degree and Image quality can be compromised by suboptimal positioning, obesity, bowel gas, and bowel or bladder contrast, and also can’t assess the associated soft tissue injuries and hematomas. Computed tomography scan in addition to conventional pelvic radiographs is a common practice but recently advances in CT scanning and computer graphics technology allow for two dimension and three dimension to be generated from data obtained during the pelvic CT scan that may provide a significant advantage as they decrease patient discomfort, are less adversely affected by body habitus, bowel gas, and contrast, in addition to assess the associated soft tissue traumas and hematomas. Hemorrhage is the most serious life-threatening complication of pelvic fractures. Pelvic fractures are serious injuries that needed a constant upgrade in diagnostic modalities to help reaching the accurate assessment of the injury, which help achieving the proper management of each case. In our study we used the Multidetector Computed tomography (MDCT) scans with three dimensional pelvic images (3D) to evaluate non-solid organ injury in patients with pelvic trauma. MDCT was an excellent imaging modality that was safe, reliable and non invasive |
