This study aims to evaluate the utility and diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography for blunt abdominal trauma.
Conducted an observational cross-sectional study with patients having blunt abdominal trauma.
Patients underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen.
CT findings were analyzed for abdominal organ injuries and correlated with surgical and clinical outcomes.
Statistical analysis assessed the diagnostic accuracy of CT findings.
CT accurately detected solid organ injuries, hemoperitoneum, and retroperitoneal pathology.
The spleen, liver, and kidneys were the most commonly injured organs identified by CT.
CT findings showed excellent correlation with operative findings in surgical cases.
CT demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, reducing missed injuries and unnecessary surgeries.

Mustapure et al. (2026) studied this question.
