Imaging Thoracic Vascular Trauma

RadioGraphics Podcast | RSNA

Show Notes

Dr. Clint Sliker breaks down the critical imaging findings of cardiac and non-thoracic vascular trauma, highlighting how these rare but life-threatening injuries appear on CT. He shares practical insights to help radiologists recognize subtle signs, choose the right protocols, and maintain a high index of suspicion in high-stakes trauma cases. Imaging of Cardiac and NonaorticThoracic Vascular Trauma. Costenbader and Beheshtian et al. RadioGraphics 2026; 46(2):e250097.

Dr. Maya Patel and Dr. Tetyana Gorbachova explore key vascular variants of the upper and lower extremities that radiologists may encounter on routine musculoskeletal imaging, highlighting how to recognize them and understand their clinical significance. They discuss the surgical implications of variants such as the persistent median artery, corona mortis, persistent sciatic artery, and aberrant anterior tibial artery, emphasizing how accurate identification can help prevent serious complications including neuropathy, hemorrhage, limb ischemia, and amputation. Charting Variant Vascular Pathways in Musculoskeletal Imaging: Clinical and Surgical Implications. Patel et al. RadioGraphics 2026; 46(3):e250073.
