Overview

Ultrasonography, CT scan, and MRI may demonstrate the diaphragmatic rent. A CT thorax has a sensitivity of 14-82% and a specificity of 87% and permits direct visualization of the contents and the rupture.Focussed abdominal sonography for trauma(FAST) is now a good aid in diagnosing diaphragmatic hernia.[1]
