Abstract
Pediatric trauma is a significant source of morbidity and mortality in pediatric
patients. Prompt and accurate assessment of injuries is necessary for the best
outcome. Computed tomography (CT) has become a well-accepted, rapid,
relatively noninvasive way to assess the trauma patient. In certain cases of pelvic
trauma, two- and three-dimensional CT (2D/3D CT) adds detail not otherwise
obtainable or appreciated. Although the benefits must be balanced against the
slight increase in delivered radiation dose, we believe that 2D/3D CT is often an
important part of patient management.
