Interpreting Trauma Radiographs (PDF)

As advanced practices and role extension within the healthcare
sector continues unabated, increasingly practitioners seek ways to
widen their professional remit and develop and add to their skills.
Interpreting Trauma Radiographs provides a unique guide to
enable radiographers and trained healthcare professionals to
confidently and competently interpret and report on radiographic
images. Designed specifically for radiographers, casualty (accident
and emergency) medical officers and trainees, and other health
professionals who regularly encounter trauma radiography as part of
their work, this book brings together expert contributions on the
clinical, medical, legal and scientific aspects of radiographic
interpretation and reporting, promoting a thorough understanding of
both the general framework of reporting and the detail of image
interpretation.

The book is divided into two sections. The first section deals
with the overall framework of image reporting and interpretation:
the radiologist's perspective, the legal aspects, scientific
background and the psychological nature of perception and
interpretation. The second section focuses on image interpretation
of regional anatomy, presented to support both reporting
practitioners in training and those more experienced in reporting
practice.

Interpreting Trauma Radiographs is an invaluable companion for
qualified radiographers, radiographers in training, casualty
medical officers, and other healthcare professionals, such as nurse
practitioners, aspiring to interpret and report on radiographic
images.
