Thoracic and esophageal injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in trauma patients and the use of multimodality imaging with conventional radiography, multidetector computed tomography (CT) is increasing being used to help diagnose injuries in trauma patients. Respiratory maneuvers are very important in obtaining diagnostic quality CT images. Inadequate respiratory maneuvers can influence differences in lung attenuation and lead to missrepresentation. The radiographer is usually the person responsible for giving respiratory instructions prior to and during imaging examinations. This course provides important information about CT protocols and procedures when imaging blunt thoracic trauma and esophageal emergencies and the role that adequate respiratory maneuvers play in the production of high quality images. A section is devoted to radiation protection and CT examinations.

The course contains 4 parts. Part 1 Multidetector CT Evaluation of Blunt Thoracic Trauma. Part 2 Quality Initiatives: Respiratory Instructions for CT Examinations of the Lungs: A Hands-on Guide. Part 3 CT Features of Esophageal Emergencies. Part 4 Radiation Protection and CT. Parts 1-3 are web-based documents. You will be sent directions with a link to access the reading references. Part 4 will be sent via email. This course posttest has 40 multiple-choice questions. This course applies to all radiographers, radiologic technologists (RTs) and limited radiographers. . .
