Learning Objectives

• Implement the latest imaging protocols for rapid assessment of complex acute polytrauma patients
• Distinguish between common anatomic variants, injury mimics, and common thoracic vascular emergencies
• Identify key imaging features of emergent brain, spine, head & neck, and abdominopelvic pathologies
• Differentiate between emergent and non-emergent indications for interventional radiology
• Utilize search patterns to identify frequently missed musculoskeletal trauma findings

Intended Audience

This course is designed for radiologists and all medical professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of emergency and trauma imaging.
