Figure 9b. Spectrum of hepatic and splenic injuries due to trauma. (a) Contrast-enhanced CT image shows a large subcapsular hepatic hematoma with laceration and periportal edema and with a typical indentation in the fibrous capsule of the liver. (b) Contrast-enhanced CT image shows multiple irregular low-attenuation contusions in both hepatic lobes (arrows). (c) Contrast-enhanced CT image depicts a single hepatic laceration that extends alongside the fissure of the ligamentum teres (arrow). Lacerations commonly occur along the natural planes of hepatic vessels and fissures. (d) Contrast-enhanced CT image shows a single jagged laceration in the posterior tip of the spleen (arrow).
