Trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the advent of specialised trauma centres the outcome of patients who sustain major trauma remains disappointing. Plain radiography and more advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computerised tomography (CT) and angiography, have a major role to play in the early decision making and subsequent management of patients who sustain polytrauma. This article discusses the choice of emergency imaging techniques available in chest trauma for clinicians and radiologists; their evaluation and some of the common pitfalls that may lead to errors of interpretation.
创伤是全球发病和死亡的主要原因。尽管出现了专门的创伤中心，但遭受严重创伤患者的治疗结果仍然令人失望。普通X线摄影以及超声、计算机断层扫描（CT）和血管造影等更先进的成像技术，在多发伤患者的早期决策和后续治疗中发挥着重要作用。本文讨论了胸部创伤中可供临床医生和放射科医生使用的急诊成像技术的选择；它们的评估以及一些可能导致解读错误的常见陷阱。
