General description, scope and objectives of this webinar:

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of pelvic vascular trauma imaging, focusing on MDCT angiography protocols, key imaging findings, and potential pitfalls that can impact diagnosis and management. Given the high morbidity and possible mortality associated with pelvic vascular injuries, accurate and timely radiologic assessment is crucial for guiding appropriate clinical interventions. This session is aimed at emergency radiologists, radiology residents, fellows, medical students, and other healthcare professionals interested in acute trauma imaging and its role in guiding critical decision-making.
The program for this webinar will cover:
– Optimizing MDCT protocols for detecting pelvic vascular injuries.
– Recognizing key imaging features of arterial and venous injuries, including active hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, and venous disruptions.
– Understanding the clinical implications of imaging findings and their role in triaging patients for conservative management, endovascular embolization, or surgical intervention.
– Avoiding common pitfalls and misinterpretations in pelvic trauma imaging.

After attending the webinar, participants will be able to:

– Select and implement an appropriate MDCT protocol to optimize the detection of pelvic vascular injuries.
– Identify, describe, and differentiate between the spectrum of pelvic vascular injuries, including arterial, venous, and osseous sources of bleeding.
– Understand the role of imaging in clinical management and guide decision-making between nonoperative, interventional radiology, or surgical treatments.
– Recognize common pitfalls and artifacts that may lead to missed or overcalled vascular injuries.
