Methods and materials
Survey
We performed a cross-sectional survey of Irish radiologists to evaluate knowledge of their local MCI protocol and of the role of radiology during an MCI.
The survey was carried out at the Irish Faculty of Radiologist's Annual Scientific Meeting which took place in Dublin on the 27th-29th of September 2017 (Fig.4).
Responses were collected at the end of the meeting.
Data were analysed and representative graphs were created using Microsoft Excel.
Role of radiology in MIP and during and MCI
A literature review was performed regarding the role of radiology during an MCI.
In addition,
MCI protocols and trauma reporting templates were obtained on request from trauma centres in the UK,
North America and Australia.
From this information,
key recommendations for inclusion in radiology MCI protocols were identified.
