KEY POINTS: • The COVID-19 pandemic led to a marked increase in the number of intimate partner violence (IPV) cases, potentially leading to increased emergency department visits and radiological examinations. • Radiologists should carefully review the medical history of suspicious cases, discuss the suspicion with the referring physician, and proactively engage in a private conversation with the patient, pointing to actionable resources for IPV victims. Radiologists are integral providers of medical care and encounter a wide cross-section of patients, including patients with injuries related to intimate partner violence (IPV). In the light of the unprecedented social and economic crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, we urge radiologists and allied health professionals in the radiology department to be aware of IPV and carefully consider the provided history, even for common traumatic injuries. ./cache/cord-330856-j1wqrc8v.txt ./txt/cord-330856-j1wqrc8v.txt
