- MDCT is the imaging modality of choice for imaging patients with acute polytrauma. - Though MDCT is often obtained to evaluate for facial fractures, injuries to the globe may also be detected and may not be clinically apparent. - MDCT signs of significant globe injuries may be subtle. - MDCT has only modest accuracy for open globe injuries compared to ultrasound and clinical exam.  

- Review epidemiology of globe injuries. - Review of normal globe anatomy. - Review imaging modalities and strategies used for suspected globe trauma (ultrasound, MRI and CT). - Imaging review of frequently encountered pathology using an interactive quiz based format. - Subtle MDCT signs of significant globe injuries will be emphasized. - Pathology to be included: vitreous hemorrhage, corneal lacerations, open globe rupture, globe foreign bodies, penetrating globe injuries, ocular detachments (including retinal and choroidal detachment), lens injuries (including traumatic cataract, lens subluxation and dislocation). - Accompanying PDF slides demonstrate much of the pathology that will be reviewed and presented in the presentation.
