Course Description

There are few things in imaging more daunting than evaluating cases of head trauma. Keeping your cool and making informed decisions are a critical piece in guiding a trauma patient to quick relief of their symptoms and hopefully to a road for recovery. In some instances, trauma imaging can even provide important information regarding the likely mechanisms for injury. In the Brain Trauma Imaging Mastery series we walk you through many of the manifestations of trauma and provide practical insights about the next steps of care for these patients. Some of the diagnoses in this course include:

  • Hemorrhage
  • Uncal Herniation
  • Subdural Hematoma
  • Non-accidental Trauma
  • Dissection
  • Pseudoaneurysm
  • And many more…
