abstract="The increased frequency of mass shootings, terror attacks, and natural disasters in recent years have presented challenges to provision of quality medical care in both short and long-term stressful situations. While emergency departments and trauma surgeons are usually the face of the response to mass casualty incidents (MCI), other departments such as radiology are often active participants in caring for these patients but may not be as well prepared. In this article, we review nine papers describing the experiences of various radiology departments with specific MCIs and the lessons they learned from those experiences. By analysis of common themes raised in these papers, we hope to enable departments to incorporate these lessons into their disaster plans to enhance their preparedness for such events.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
