Section 1 - Radiology: Imaging Trauma Patients in a Deployed Setting –
The initial radiographic evaluation of a trauma patient begins with supine
Anterior-Posterior (AP) chest and pelvis radiographs taken in the trauma
bay usually with a(n) __________. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔portable x-ray machine
T/F: Computed Tomography scanning has been largely replaced by
Cervical Spine Radiographic Evaluation (CSRE) and should only be
performed when CSRE is unavailable. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔FALSE. Cervical
Spine Radiographic Evaluation (CSRE) has been largely replaced by
Computed Tomography (CT) and should only be performed when a CT is
unavailable.
,What is the lowest level of care equipped with a Computed Tomography
(CT) Scanner? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Role 3
What is the lowest level of care equipped with a portable x-ray machine? -
🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Role 2
Members of the trauma team should have __________ aprons and thyroid
shields available near the trauma bay for radiation safety. - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔lead
Distance is also protective from radiation exposure. If feasible based on the
patient's condition, any personnel without lead shielding should move a
short distance away from the x-ray unit. The recommended minimal
distance is __________ feet. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Six (6)
While the FAST scan has been validated only in hemodynamically unstable
blunt trauma patients, it has become a standard tool in the trauma bay and
Emergency Department (ED) in most trauma patients. FAST stands for
__________. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Focused Abdominal Sonographic
Assessment for Trauma
FAST in combat trauma has a sensitivity of only 56% and and specificity of
__________. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔98%
,T/F: The FAST exam remains the most sensitive test for hollow viscus
injury and mesenteric injury. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔FALSE. Diagnostic
Peritoneal Lavage (DPL) remains the most sensitive test for hollow viscus
injury and mesenteric injury.
T/F: At the Role 3, properly trained providers including radiologists,
surgeons, and emergency physicians, can perform and interpret FAST
scans in the emergency department on a hand held portable US device. - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔TRUE
A FAST examination is performed with a portable hand-held machine most
commonly using a standard 3-7 MHz curved array __________ probe. - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔Ultra Sound (US)
The standard FAST examination is focused on evaluating for the presence
of __________ in certain areas of the body. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Free

include the doses of and rates of contrast administration. - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔FALSE. Utilize a scanning protocol based on the pediatric settings to
include the doses of and rates of contrast administration.
T/F: All patients evacuated through casualty evacuation should have
images sent electronically ahead of time as well as have a CD created to
send with the patient as a backup. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔TRUE
T/F: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used in theater, as its
utility in the acute management of combat trauma was extensively
