Radiologists Can Help Reduce Cycles of Intimate Partner Violence

Radiologists can detect evidence of intimate partner violence before women disclose it and help facilitate earlier interventions to reduce cycles of abuse, according to a December 3 presentation at RSNA.

In a review of imaging from 1,322 cases, radiologic evidence of intimate partner violence was often present months or years before it was first self-reported, noted presenter Patrick Lenehan, MD, PhD, who led the study at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
