Bilateral haemothorax, right greater than left, accounting for the density difference seen on the supine chest x-ray. Mild atelectasis is seen adjacent to the haemothoraces and likely small volume pulmonary contusion in the right lung base where a small traumatic pneumatocele is seen. Subtle inward angulation of multiple anterobasal ribs are consistent with incomplete fractures. A right T10 transverse process fracture was better appreciated on sagittal images and a fracture of the right superior aspect of the T10 vertebral body. Locules of soft-tissue gas are seen near the T10 injury and also near the rib fractures. Trace bilateral pneumothorax is seen anterobasally.
