This poster describes: 1.  The imaging features of high intensity blast injuries from imbrovised explosive devices in Iraq and Afganistan. 2.  The imaging features of low intensity blast injuries from Boston marathon bombing 3.  The physics of the various blast injuries (primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary blast wave injuries)

Introduction:  Low Vs. high intensity explosives Physics of blast injuries Primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary blast wave injuries IED injuries from the middle east Boston marathon blast injuries Differenced in Boston marathon Vs. middle east blast injury pattern: 1. Bomb intensity 2. Protective armour 3. Bomb location (indoor Vs. outdoor blasts).  Imaging protocol for penetrating trauma and blunt trauma.
