N2  - Earthquakes are unpredictable and inevitable disasters, causing various earthquake-related disorders. Medical imaging, including digital radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, plays a key role in the evaluation of earthquake-related disorders. We here demonstrate the concept of diagnostic imaging after a massive earthquake and review the common imaging features of various disorders in casualties and evacuees. This summary of imaging features can facilitate the diagnosis of various earthquake-related disorders and promote judicious therapy planning.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
