Like previous manuals from wartime, surgeons have been informed by the experiences of those on the front lines. The tactics of the opponent, the defenses available to the soldiers, and the tools available for diagnosis and treatment are shaping the current approaches used by physicians serving in modern conflicts, explained Rocco Armonda, MD, a neurosurgeon and colonel in the US Army. Armonda described his experience treating soldiers and civilians injured in the Iraq war at the 94th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
