Abstract
The diagnostics of physical child abuse are usually performed by amultidisciplinary team and frequently represent aclinical challenge. Radiological expertise is particularly important for the recognition of abusive injuries to the skeletal system and the central nervous system. The aim of the article is to give an overview of red flags of child abuse in radiological imaging. For the diagnostics of child abuse, conventional projection radiography of the skeletal system as well as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head are especially relevant. There is insufficient evidence with respect to sonography. Radiological imaging plays akey role for recognizing physical child abuse. Radiological red flags of child abuse can be crucial for making the diagnosis.
