Radiologists can help identify intimate partner violence (IPV) by recognizing common injury patterns. They can also advocate for institutional protocols to support patients experiencing IPV.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Public Health
- Radiology
Background:
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a leading cause of nonfatal injury in women globally.
- Effective healthcare professional (HCP) training and protocols for addressing IPV are crucial.
- Radiologists play a role in identifying and supporting patients who have experienced IPV.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address key questions radiologists may have regarding the identification and support of patients experiencing IPV.
- To inform radiologists about injury patterns associated with IPV.
- To encourage the development of institutional protocols for managing IPV cases.
Main Methods:
- A review of peer-reviewed journal articles and formal reports.
- Literature search conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed.
Main Results:
- Radiologists can identify potential IPV through awareness of characteristic injury patterns.
- Radiologists are positioned to advocate for the implementation of IPV response protocols within healthcare settings.
Conclusions:
- Radiologists possess the capability to aid in the identification of IPV.
- Awareness of IPV-related injury patterns enhances diagnostic potential for radiologists.
- Radiologists can champion the establishment of institutional protocols for IPV victim support.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
