Table 4 Grading computed tomography of gastric blunt traumatic injuries
| Pathology | CT signs | Treatment | |
| Grade 1 | Gastric contusion | Gastric wall thickening No peritoneal fluid Perigastric pneumatosis | No surgery |
| Grade 2 | Minor lacerations involving the mucosal side | High-attenuation hematoma confined to the inner side, blood in the gastric lumen Small amount of non-bloody peritoneal fluid | Follow-up |
| Grade 3 | Partial laceration with parietal hematoma and/or stretching of the external layer | Peritoneal hematoma collection, gastric wall thickening with high-attenuation of the external side | Close follow-up/ surgery |
| Grade 4 | Full thickness rupture Vascular involvement (necrosis or active bleeding) | Extraluminal air Luminal content extravasation Contrast material extravasation | Emergency surgery |
