Radiologic imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of blunt chest trauma. In addition to conventional radiography, multidetector computed tomography (CT) is increasingly being used, since it can quickly and accurately help diagnose a wide variety of injuries in trauma patients.

“…It is problematic for many radiologists when describing the fracture site in patients with rib fracture. Some clinicians use additional plain chest radiographs to overcome the limitations of CT in symptomatic patients; however, the patients are exposed to additional radiation during this process (6,7). Three-dimensional reformation ty were used for the gradient effect.…”
