What Student Need To Know Emergency Radiology And Trauma Imaging In Radio Diagnosis.

Trauma imaging has evolved over the years in response to new techniques, access to imaging facilities and provider training. Medical Imaging is a dedicated team focused on the imaging of patients to assist in diagnosis, with staff and access available for emergency department patients 24/7 in the MTS. Radiology itself requires specific knowledge of aetiology mechanism of injury, common patterns of disease injury patterns and what not to miss. A system of electronic display of images and reports i.e. Picture Archiving Communications System or PACS is highly desirable. Diagnostic imaging is an important part of the Emergency Department patient workup. Prompt and appropriate imaging can prevent significant morbidity and mortality in all trauma patients. Given the high cost of imaging and the potential of patient harm, it is essential that imaging be used with caution. The initial trauma series of x-rays should include systematic examination and assessment of Alignment, Bony structures, Cartilage and Soft t
