The purpose of this article is to reaffirm the important role of CT in the assessment of trauma. The subject matter covered includes trauma involving the abdomen and pelvis, including the spine and hips.

Decreased radiopharmaceutical uptake was noted on both bone and gallium scans in the case of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the right ilium (acetabular roof). This combination of findings is probably rare. The mechanism of decreased gallium uptake is unknown, but may be related to decreased blood flow.
