Abstract

Liver injury is a common consequence of blunt abdominopelvic trauma. Contrast-enhanced CT allows for the rapid detection and evaluation of liver injury. The treatment strategy for blunt liver injury has shifted from surgical to nonoperative management, which has been widely complemented by interventional management to treat both liver injury and its complications. In this article, we review the major imaging features of liver injury and the role of interventional management for the treatment of liver injury.

간 외상은 복부 둔상에서 흔하다. 조영증강 전산화단층촬영을 통해 간 외상을 빠르게 진단하고 평가할 수 있다. 간 외상의 치료 전략은 수술적 방법에서 점차 비수술적 방법으로 바뀌어 왔는데, 간 외상뿐 아니라 그 합병증에 대한 보완적 치료 방법으로 인터벤션이 각광받고 있다. 이 종설에서는 간 외상에서 보일 수 있는 주요 영상 소견과, 치료에 있어서 인터벤션의 역할에 대해 알아보고자 한다.
