The image above demonstrates a grade 3 splenic laceration with contrast extravasation (arrow on the image above), indicating active bleeding. This was the result of blunt trauma due to a motor vehicle accident. Considering there was active bleeding, the patient was taken to the radiology suite for angiography and embolization.
