Key result
Ultrasonography and CT imaging demonstrated characteristic features of focal post-traumatic rhabdomyolysis, including cloudy echogenicity, muscular disorganization, and soft tissue calcifications.
Why the study?
Imaging is needed to diagnose rhabdomyolysis, a condition where damaged striated muscle cells release substances causing severe bodily harm.
Case Report (n=1)
Ultrasound and CT imaging provide distinct, complementary diagnostic features such as muscular disorganization and soft calcifications for the early detection of focal post-traumatic rhabdomyolysis.

May aid rhabdomyolysis diagnosis via US/CT; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before practice change.
Rhabdomyolysis as a term, literally means striated muscle breakdown, where these lysed cells of the muscles produce substances which when released causes severe damage to the body. And to diagnose this medical condition is where the art of imaging comes into picture. And hence, we are presenting a case report on rhabdomyolysis showing distinct ultrasound and CT features.

Patwa et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Focal Post Traumatic Rhabdomyolysis (n=1). Ultrasonography and CT Imaging was evaluated on Diagnostic imaging features. Ultrasonography and CT imaging demonstrated characteristic features of focal post-traumatic rhabdomyolysis, including cloudy echogenicity, muscular disorganization, and soft tissue calcifications.
