Emergency physicians and radiologists have been increasingly encountering
internal concealment of illegal drugs. The packages commonly contain powdered
solid drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and hashish, but they may
also contain cocaine in the liquid form. The second type of package has recently
been more commonly encountered, and poses a greater diagnostic challenge. As
clinical evaluation and laboratory tests frequently fail to make the correct
diagnosis, imaging examination is typically required. Imaging methods assume a
vital role in the diagnosis, follow-up and management. Abdominal X-ray,
ultrasonography, CT and MRI are used for the imaging purposes. Among the
aforementioned methods, low-dose CT is state-of-the-art in these cases. It is of
paramount importance that radiologists have a full knowledge of the imaging
characteristics of these packages and accurately guide physicians and security
officials.
