Abstract
Radiologic management of the pregnant female who has sustained blunt abdominal trauma must be individualized and based on the pathophysiology and medical status of the mother and of the conceptus. The potential effects of ionizing radiation and their dependence on the age and size of the conceptus are all considerations in a rational approach to patient management but must not overshadow any exigent need for a diagnostic study.
