2 Fig 1 Blunt aortic injury classification scheme based on the presence or absence of aortic external contour abnormality on axial computed tomography imaging. Representative images are shown.

3 Fig 2 Pseudoaneurysm width measurements. A, A width measurement of the maximum aortic diameter at the site of injury is shown. B, A width measurement of the normal aorta just distal to the site of injury is shown. The pseudoaneurysm size is calculated by subtracting the measurement in B from that in A.
