Self-assessment in Axial Skeleton Musculoskeletal Trauma X-rays

Many practitioners are now continuing to expand their reporting skills from appendicular skeleton to include the axial skeleton in trauma. Other allied profession may also be reviewing axial skeleton trauma radiographs, for instance nurse practitioners (such as in cases of hip trauma). Many practitioners initially fear reviewing axial skeleton radiographs, understandably as missing an injury may have dire consequences, but with training, audit and care this fear can be overcome; and one can look forward to the challenge of axial radiograph reporting.
As axial trauma radiographs can be a difficult to review, the book starts with several chapters, to introduce or revise specific axial trauma. The first chapter discusses mechanisms of injury of major trauma. Followed by a chapter on pelvic trauma. The next chapter looks at reviewing trauma cervical spine radiographs. Then is presented a series of trauma cases of the axial skeleton, on which you are asked to write reports, plus sometimes answer a few questions, (the answers are over the page). This section is divided into six chapters; trauma cases of the pelvis; of the hip and femur; the cervical spine; dorsal and lumber spine; the skull, facial bones and mandible (15 cases in each chapter); the last chapter being 25 mixed cases. Although it is preferably to work your way through the book from start to finish; if you feel you need revision on say cervical spine radiographs, then you can flick to the chapter on reviewing the cervical spine and next to the cases on cervical spine. Each case has appropriate clinical history although this may not be the original history in order to anonymous the case. Some of the cases may not have side markers these may have been removed whilst removing patients’ details.

Self Assessment in Limb X-ray Interpretation

Aimed at: Radiographers, Nurse Practitioners and Junior Doctors
The number of professions that review and formulate a written report/opinion on trauma radiographs has increased over the last ten years to include nurse practitioners, radiographers and radiographer practitioners.
Radiographer practitioners post-training formulate first and second (final) reports, depending on training and which Trust they work in.
For many years radiographers have been 'red dotting' casualty radiographs, although now with increased knowledge obtained from the many 'red dot' courses available.
Nurse practitioners, in order to provide a complete service to their patient, are also commenting on trauma radiographs.
This book is intended to be like sitting in on a reporting session with a radiologist or radiographer practitioner, where you are asked to report/comment on the radiograph, but also asked some questions and given feedback. It is intended to support whatever training you have done whether it be reporting, 'red dotting' or commenting. It can be used as a revision book, or to help in preparation for an assessment. However you use it, I hope it will encourage you to read more, research more into musculoskeletal trauma and its radiographic appearance; for it is a fascinating topic and there is always more to learn.

Many nurse practitioners and radiographer practitioners view paediatric trauma radiographs with a certain amount of trepidation.
Rightly so – paediatric radiographs can be difficult to interpret, requiring additional learning and experience, but that is the challenge, and interest of paediatric trauma. The aim of this book is to assist with that professional development. There are 100 case studies each with radiograph image. The book is designed to support whatever course you have done whether reporting, ‘red dotting’ or commenting or to encourage you to go on ‘that course’. It can be used as a revision book, a study aid, or to help in preparation for an assessment.
However you use the book it will encourage you to read more and research more into musculoskeletal trauma and its radiographic appearance; for it is a fascinating topic and there is always more to learn!
