Radiology during a war - experience in Ukraine.

Military radiology, an integral part of military medicine, plays a pivotal role in medical triage, diagnosis, and treatment. Its significance lies in providing timely and accurate assessments in challenging situations.The utilization of contemporary sonographic techniques enables rapid identification of life-threatening conditions, ensuring prompt medical aid and facilitating regional anesthesia. Computed tomography emerges as a critical tool for assessing injury extent, planning surgeries, monitoring postoperative phases, and conducting retrospective evaluations, especially when anatomical dissection is complex.Battlefield radiology not only enhances the understanding of injury mechanisms and battlefield traumas but also contributes significantly to the overall improvement of diagnostic and treatment approaches. Ukrainian doctors actively engaged in diverse stages of patient care accumulate a wealth of knowledge, substantially elevating the survival rates of wounded individuals. This experience serves as the foundation for ongoing enhancements and the advancement of military radiology, even during periods of peace. · Military radiology is essential in medical triage, diagnosis, and treatment within military contexts.. · Modern sonographic methods enable swift identification of life-threatening conditions.. · Computed tomography is indispensable for assessing injuries, planning surgeries, and conducting retrospective evaluations.. · Ukrainian doctors actively contribute to the knowledge base, improving diagnostic and treatment practices.. · The acquired experience serves as a foundation for ongoing advancements in military radiology, extending its impact beyond wartime scenarios.. · Nehria N, Nehria Y, Bukharin T.
