1) To illustrate the importance of multidetector CT in delineation of diaphragmatic rupture in Penetrating Trauma 2)The CT signs in penetrating diaphragmatic injury can be subtle. We will demonstrate key findings along with potential pitfalls.

1)PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF INJURY 2)CLINICAL SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS IN DIAPHRAGMATIC INJURY 3)RADIOLOGICAL FINDINGS INDICATIVE OF INJURY TO DIAPHRAGM -CXR -US -CT 4)ACCURACY OF INDIVIDUAL CT SIGNS ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE 5)OUR EXPERIENCE 6)METHODS -RETROSPECTIVE STUDY LOOKING AT SURGICALLY CONFIRMED CASES OF DIAPHRAGMATIC INJURY -WAS DIAPHRAGMATIC INJURY PICKED UP ON CT (REPORTED INDEPENDENTLY BY 2 RADIOLOGISTS) -WHICH SIGNS WERE MOST USEFUL 7)RESULTS 8)CONCLUSIONS INCLUDING SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY
