Abstract:
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue affecting women globally, often leading to physical and psychological trauma. Authors retrospectively analyzes radiological findings in female IPV victims who presented to our hospital over a 13-year period. Common injuries included cranial trauma and nasal bone fractures, with upper extremity injuries also frequently observed. The authors highlight the critical role radiological imaging plays in identifying IPV-related injuries and emphasizes the importance of early detection. Increased awareness and targeted radiological evaluations can aid in breaking the cycle of violence through timely interventions.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
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...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
