Abstract:
The trauma of a mass casualty event in Fort Hood, TX very quickly impacted the imaging departments of 3 healthcare facilities in central Texas. In the aftermath,there was an opportunity to reflect and learn. When a mass casualty event or disaster takes place, radiology administration needs to be visible, lead staff, manage media attention and law enforcement presence,all while maintaining a high level of quality patient care. Issues of particular concern are training, coping mechanisms, and the impact of leadership. Military and civilian healthcare facilities have different capabilities in terms of training and operations when it comes to managing such an event.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
