Video Summary
Barry Belosis, a musculoskeletal radiology fellow at Stanford University, discusses a 16-year-old male with a suspected splenic laceration following trauma. In such cases, a focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) is used to identify fluid in the abdomen. CT scans with contrast are essential for unstable patients with negative FAST results or stable individuals with positive FAST. This patient's CT reveals a splenic laceration and hemoperitoneum, requiring assessment using the AAST spleen injury scale. The scan shows a subscapular hematoma and active contrast extravasation, indicating significant splenic injury.
