Description
Modern trauma care provides the context for comparing standard radiography, whole-body CT, and protocol selection. Primary and secondary CT review, assessment of complex injuries, and appropriate use of multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions are demonstrated.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the role of imaging within the initial assessment of major trauma.
- Select and apply an appropriate whole-body CT strategy and protocol.
- Perform systematic primary and secondary CT reviews and use reconstructions effectively.
