Minimal Movement
Trauma patients often cannot move due to injury. Positioning must be adapted to their condition. Minimal movement reduces pain and risk. Adaptability is essential for trauma imaging.
Detector Placement
Sliding the detector behind the patient reduces movement. Proper placement improves alignment. Careful handling prevents further injury. Detector awareness supports safe imaging.
Tube Angulation
Angling the tube compensates for limited patient mobility. Proper angling maintains anatomical accuracy. Technique adjustments improve clarity. Angulation is a key trauma skill.
Communication Skills
Clear communication reduces anxiety and improves cooperation. Trauma patients may be disoriented or in pain. Calm instructions support better outcomes. Communication is vital for trauma imaging.
