Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the imaging features and success rates of treating infected hepatic infarctions through percutaneous methods.
- A retrospective review identified 13 patients who had liver infections linked to their initial hepatic infarctions, with a notable number undergoing significant surgeries prior to infection.
- The findings indicated that while most patients responded well to percutaneous drainage, there was a higher risk of secondary infection in those who had certain surgical procedures, underscoring the importance of effective drainage techniques in these complex cases.
The multiple trauma patient is usually initially imaged with a portable "trauma series" consisting of a lateral cervical spine film, a portable chest film, and a portable pelvis film (PPF). An investigation was performed to determine whether the screening PPF could be eliminated for multiple trauma patients being examined by abdominopelvic CT scan (APCT). A retrospective investigation analyzed all patients evaluated in our level I trauma center from 1 January to 31 December 2000 who were examined with a "trauma series" followed by an APCT scan within 8 h.
