Abstract

CT scanning is sensitive and specific for the identification of pelvic fractures and injury to the pelvic wall soft tissue and the pelvic cavity. Crush pelvic trauma in an earthquake can be identified by multidetector CT scanning.

  • crush injury
  • multidetector computed tomography
  • earthquake
  • imaging
  • imaging
  • CT/MRI
  • major incidents
