Key Points

To critically examine the clinical value and adverse safety risks associated with intravenous iodinated contrast administration during whole-body CT scans in older adults experiencing low-energy blunt trauma.
Commentary commentary analyzing previously published literature; no experimental or observational datasets were generated or analysed.
Highlights the trade-off between rapid identification of subtle vascular or organ injuries and the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in frail older patients.
Emphasizes the necessity of individualized clinical decision-making when ordering contrasted pan-scan imaging protocols following minor traumatic mechanisms.

Implication

Commentary evaluates iodinated contrast utility and safety in geriatric blunt trauma pan-scans, highlighting diagnostic benefits and renal risks.
