Third-world countries like Pakistan have been at the receiving end of these attacks. However, the extent of the damage inflicted in these regions is not fully understood due to gross underreporting. We aim to assist radiologists in identifying common abdominopelvic injuries in bomb blast victims and highlighting specific injury patterns to guide more effective management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective observational study designed to analyze abdominopelvic injuries among bomb blast victims treated at our institution.

The most common single injury category among the patients analyzed was secondary injury, while the most common combination of injuries observed was a combination of secondary and tertiary injuries. CT was the most frequently requested first-line radiological investigation, while US was most frequently requested as a second-line modality. Injuries to the liver were the most frequently observed solid-organ injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Efficient practices are essential in radiology departments to manage the surge in patient numbers seen after bomb blast incidents.
