ABSTRACT
Peripheral vascular injuries are a rare finding in the setting of trauma but an important source of morbidity and mortality when present. Fast and accurate diagnosis followed by rapid repair of vascular injuries are important for achieving the best clinical outcomes. The advancements in computer tomography (CT) and decades of experience in vascular imaging have allowed radiologists to become important contributors for the diagnosis and characterization of peripheral vascular injury. We review the epidemiology of peripheral vascular injuries, indications for imaging, ways to optimize CT technique, imaging findings, and common challenges for accurate diagnosis of such injuries.
