[Current aspects of radiographic diagnosis of pelvis and pelvic organ traumas in peace and wartime conditions (review of the literature)]

Abstract

The injuries of pelvis and pelvic organs remain one of the difficult problems of surgery in military and peace-time. The detection of pathologic changes in the cases of pelvic traumas depends on the time, quality and volume of radial investigations. The rule that any pelvic injury is considered as the complicated one until the opposite will be proved determines the diagnostic algorithm of roentgenologic examination, and the contrast methods are of great importance. The perspective method of for investigating the casualties with severe combined pelvic trauma is the spiral computed tomography. The investigation of casualties with pelvis and pelvic organ traumas must be conducted at the shortest periods after the trauma using the whole complex of radial investigative methods both the conventional roentgenologic and imaging methods.
