Comparative effectiveness of FAST combined with MRI and CT in wound evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma

Our findings indicate that in hemodynamically stable patients, the combination of FAST and MRI provides superior diagnostic accuracy and localization for blunt abdominal trauma compared to CT, with timely diagnostic efficiency. These findings suggest that FAST + MRI may serve as a useful complementary imaging strategy in hemodynamically stable patients; however, further prospective studies comparing this approach to contrast-enhanced CT and incorporating patient outcome measures are warranted.
