The radiological findings of child abuse have been a focus of radiological education. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant health burden; however, this is not frequently illustrated in the radiology literature. Health care providers play a crucial role in screening, treating, and preventing future acts of domestic violence. Radiologists in particular are in a unique position in cases of domestic violence, unbiased by interaction with the victim and potentially the abuser. Head and neck injuries are the most common; however, any part of the body is at risk for injury in cases of domestic violence. Fostering awareness of domestic violence and familiarizing radiologists with the most common imaging findings of IPV can help these specialists make the proper diagnosis and improve patient care.
虐待儿童的放射学表现一直是放射学教育的重点。亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是一项重大的健康负担;然而,放射学文献中对此的阐述并不常见。医疗保健提供者在筛查、治疗和预防未来的家庭暴力行为方面发挥着关键作用。尤其是放射科医生在家庭暴力案件中处于独特地位,不受与受害者以及可能与施虐者互动的影响。头颈部损伤最为常见;然而,在家庭暴力案件中身体的任何部位都有受伤风险。提高对家庭暴力的认识并使放射科医生熟悉IPV最常见的影像学表现,有助于这些专家做出正确诊断并改善患者护理。
