Diagnostic imaging is crucial to quickly provide accurate information on the nature and extent of thoracic injuries in traumatized patients. MDCT serves as the definitive screening study as it adds essential information[6]. Moreover, multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions facilitate rapid communication of injuries sustained with surgeons and others involved in the care of trauma patients. We support MDCT as the best imaging modality for the comprehensive evaluation of the patient with chest trauma. The information provided by MDCT may lead to critical changes in patients’ management; thus we believe that radiologists should be familiar with the different aspects of MDCT evaluation of this subset of patients.
