Abstract
Characteristics of abdominal wall injury on imaging such as location and contusion depth (ASBSI) are better predictors of abdominal operative need than standard clinical measures. This analysis substantiates a novel diagnostic tool which may have the potential to facilitate clinical diagnosis and management decisions in patients with abdominal seatbelt sign.
