Diagnostic performance of abdominal CT for diagnosis of pelvic fractures: comparison with pelvic CT.

CONCLUSION: Not only pelvic CT but also abdominal CT is acceptable for detection of pelvic fractures, in spite of its thicker sections and different reconstruction algorithm. Therefore, if abdominal CT has already been performed, additional pelvic CT might no longer be necessary in order to exclude a pelvic fracture.
