2 Learning objectives Definition, demographics and etiology Imaging modalities and protocols Common findings Organ specific findings Emergency Radiology - 6th meeting of the residents in radiology, Acibadem City Clinik Tokuda, Sofia, June 2-3,

3 Definitions ü Trauma is a physical injury caused by transfer of energy to and within the person involved; kinetic, thermal, radiation ü Trauma is the major cause of death prior to the fourth decade of life ü Men > women, risk-taking behavior (e.g. involving transportation ± alcohol) Emergency Radiology - 6th meeting of the residents in radiology, Acibadem City Clinik Tokuda, Sofia, June 2-3,
