“…It is common practice to obtain slices 1 mm or less in the axial plane, scanning from the base of skull to the vertex. Axial, coronal and sagittal reconstructions are then performed at thicker intervals in soft-tissue and bone algorithms 21,24,25. Liberal use of multi-planar reformats is advised, always in correlation with the primary axial dataset.…”

“…19 CT is advantageous over other imaging modalities due to it being readily available, able to acquire images quickly, sensitivity for head injuries and high image resolution available with thin-section acquisitions. [20][21][22] A non-contrast cranial CT is typically the primary imaging for PBI, usually performed within either 1 or 8 h (dependent on the indications for imaging) of the injury occurring. 23 It is common practice to obtain slices 1 mm or less in the axial plane, scanning from the base of skull to the vertex.…”

Penetrating brain injuries (PBI) are a medical emergency, often resulting in complex damage and high mortality rates. Neuroimaging is essential to evaluate the location and extent of injuries, and to manage them accordingly. Currently, a myriad of imaging modalities are included in the diagnostic workup for adult PBI, including skull radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography, with each modality providing their own particular benefits. This literature review explores the current modalities available for investigating PBI and aims to assist in decision making for the appropriate use of diagnostic imaging when presented with an adult PBI. Based on the current literature, the authors have developed an imaging pathway for adult penetrating brain injury that functions as both a learning tool and reference guide for radiographers and other health professionals. Currently, CT is recommended as the imaging modality of choice for the initial assessment of PBI patients, while MRI is important in the sub-acute setting where it aids prognosis prediction and rehabilitation planning, Additional follow-up imaging, such as angiography, should be dependent upon clinical findings.

“…Neben der klinischen Untersuchung ist die Bildgebung von entscheidender Bedeutung für das Management der Patienten. Bildgebende Methode der Wahl ist die CT [38], da die CT-Untersuchung des Mittelgesichtes in der Regel im Rahmen der Traumadiagnostik mittels Ganzkörper-CT durchgeführt wird oder hieran unmittelbar angeschlossen werden kann [39].

“…Furthermore, in the trauma setting, immediate access to imaging is crucial in making diagnoses and guiding management decisions for the trauma team. In the acute setting, MDCT has emerged as the imaging modality of choice [12], due to its wide availability throughout most hospitals and its ability to acquire images rapidly. However, to the best of our knowledge, mandibular coronoid process fractures diagnosed with MDCT have not been reported in the literature.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristic multidetector computed tomography (CT) (MDCT) findings of mandibular coronoid process fractures. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 376 patients with maxillofacial fractures who underwent 64‐MDCT. For patients with mandibular coronoid process fractures, age, gender, cause of injury, coronoid process fracture location, and other maxillofacial fracture location were analyzed. Results: Of all patients with maxillofacial fractures, 1.6% had mandibular coronoid process fractures. All patients with mandibular coronoid process fractures sustained other maxillofacial fractures as well. Furthermore, five (83.3%) of six patients with mandibular coronoid process fractures also had posterior maxillary sinus fractures. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate the prevalence and characteristic MDCT findings of mandibular coronoid process fractures. Patients with mandibular coronoid process fractures may sustain other maxillofacial fractures, especially posterior maxillary sinus fractures.
