Trauma radiography can be an exciting and challenging environment for the radiographer. However the performing trauma procedure can be intimidating and stressful. The different depends on how the radiographer is to handle the situation. The radiographer must be properly prepared for multiple of responsibilities encounter in emergency department or radiology department to reduce the stress in trauma radiographer.
The imaging modality is determined by the condition of the patient and the specific type of injury that is most appropriate (e.g., plain-film radiography vs computed tomography (CT) scan. In order to precede the imaging procedure, the clinical capabilities to support, monitor, and treat the trauma patient as well as the availability

and location of imaging equipment are crucial decision depends on the types of imaging selected because of the trauma patient requires constant monitoring and trauma team presence. The trauma team should plan the sequence of the resuscitation to minimize time loss and avoid radiographs that are likely to be technically impossible or have minimal diagnostic yield.
