The Advanced Trauma Imaging course will teach you about the rapid and accurate evaluation of traumatic injury imaging. You will view trauma imaging across X-ray, ultrasound (FAST/eFAST), CT (including whole-body “pan-scan”), and MRI, when to use each modality, and how their strengths and limits affect care pathways in head, chest, abdominal/pelvic, extremity, and spinal trauma.
You’ll learn modified positioning for immobilized or unstable patients, mobile radiography techniques, and practical ways to minimize motion while preserving diagnostic quality (e.g., tube angulation, horizontal-beam C-spine, tight collimation, appropriate SID).
The course also emphasizes safety and workflow, radiation protection using ALARA, coordinated communication with the trauma team, and infection-control practices in high-risk environments. We will also address special considerations such as pediatric (dose minimization and non-ionizing preferences), pregnant (balancing maternal stabilization with fetal exposure), and geriatric patients (high vigilance for subtle, high-risk injuries).
By the end, you’ll be ready to select appropriate trauma protocols quickly, adapt imaging techniques at the bedside, and collaborate effectively to enable timely, life-saving decisions in trauma care.
