Objectives: The discovery of complex patterns in contrast medium extravasation on computed tomography (CT) imaging is critical for improving trauma patient management. Identifying these patterns enables early detection of complications such as vascular injury, organ rupture, and active hemorrhage, facilitating timely and targeted interventions that enhance patient outcomes. This study introduces an advanced imaging analytics approach that integrates nonlinear dynamic analysis and geostatistical methods to characterize the temporal and spatial evolution of contrast medium extravasation in trauma cases. Methods: We analyzed CT imaging sequences from trauma patients using fuzzy recurrence dynamics to uncover hidden structures within contrast dispersion patterns. This methodology quantifies subtle variations in blood flow, capturing previously unrecognized radiographic signatures associated with hemodynamics. Recurrence-based metrics were leveraged to identify dynamic changes indicative of impending complications, enhancing the predictive capabilities of trauma imaging. Results: The proposed approach effectively detected subtle, high-risk extravasation patterns that are often overlooked by conventional imaging techniques. The integration of nonlinear dynamic analysis and geostatistical modeling provided a more precise characterization of contrast dispersion, revealing predictive markers of vascular compromise. These findings support the application of advanced computational techniques for improving trauma imaging and clinical decision-making. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate the potential of integrating advanced nonlinear dynamics and network techniques into trauma imaging, offering a new framework for real-time detection, risk stratification, and predictive modeling of extravasation events. This approach represents a step toward precision medicine in emergency care, enabling automated, data-driven decision support for clinicians. By improving diagnostic accuracy and facilitating early therapeutic intervention, this study lays the foundation for a paradigm shift in trauma imaging, ultimately optimizing patient management and outcomes in critical care settings.
