There is no abdominal parenchymal organ injury. (b) In a patient with gunshot wound to the thoracoabdomen, the sagittal reformat CT demonstrates superior splenic laceration. There are small retroperitoneal fat herniations through a posterior left diaphragm defect (Bochdalek hernia) and minimal fluid and injury in the left hemithorax. (c) The sagittal reformat CT of a patient with gunshot wound to the abdomen shows subcapsular hematoma and laceration in the right liver. There is a bullet next to a posterior rib. (d) The axial CT of a patient with gunshot wound to the abdomen shows a bullet in the periportal area. The hepatic artery and portal vein are patent. There is no abdominal organ injury.
