Speaker profiles Lieutenant Colonel Mark Ballard RAMC, Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Mark Ballard trained at Imperial College School of Medicine during its formation from the London medical schools of Charing Cross and Westminster and St. Mary’s. Following his early medical training and six months of specific military medical training he was posted to 16 Medical Regiment in support of the air assault element of the armed forces. He was deployed for six months in Afghanistan as a general duties doctor spending time in the Sangin, Musa Qual’eh and Gereshk provinces of Helmand as well as the early tented field hospital at Camp Bastion.

Following registrar training in Radiology at Brighton and a fellowship in Trauma and Head and Neck Imaging at Bart’s and the London he was appointed consultant at the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, Birmingham with specialist interests in extra-cranial imaging of the head and neck as well as trauma imaging. He has recently deployed again to the field hospital in Camp Bastion as Consultant Radiologist.

Dr CPO Catherine Bean Military Radiographer, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Chief Petty Officer Catherine Bean joined the Royal Navy in 1992 as an Education and Training Support Wren and transferred to radiography in 2001, graduating in 2004 from the Royal Military College of Science, Shrivenham, a campus of Cranfield University. Posted to the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine in 2011, she is employed as the Centre for Defence Radiology Support Cell Manager (Military PACS manager on a global scale). CPO Bean feels privileged to have been the radiographer deployed to Tristan Da Cunha for Op ZEST in 2008 to support the Royal Engineers. She was deployed as a radiographer to Afghanistan in 2007, 2009 and 2011. She spent more time in Camp Bastion in 2010 assisting with the installation of the deployed PACS. Currently the nominated Superintendant for the Radiology Department on board the RFA Argus, the Royal Navy’s hospital ship, she is on standby to deploy at five days notice.

Lieutenant Colonel Iain Gibb Defence Consultant Adviser in Radiology, Fort Blockhouse Lieutenant Colonel Iain Gibb is the Defence Consultant Adviser in radiology to the Surgeon General. He has been in the army for 26 years and has deployed on operations to many different theatres of operation during his career, initially as a General Duties Medical Officer, then as a Junior Surgeon and most recently as a Consultant Radiologist. He has been a consultant for more than 10 years which includes three deployments to Afghanistan but throughout this time he has reported on battlefield injuries on a near daily basis. He has been involved in post-mortem imaging and scanning in support of the Home Office Registered Forensic Pathologists since 2007.

Abstracts Tri service radiology update CPO Catherine Bean The aim of the presentation is to provide an overview of the current role of a military radiographer. I will talk about the peacetime and operational role, in particular the radiographer’s role on contingent operations. I will discuss the different medical treatment facilities, their roles and environments in which they can deploy, and will describe the technological advances with regard to deployed radiology equipment, highlighting some of the imaging challenges military radiographers face.

Military trauma imaging; a lesson in the fundamentals Lieutenant Colonel Mark Ballard RAMC The last two decades of conflict in the Middle East have come hand in hand with a surge in expertise in managing the wounds of war. Methods of injury management have advanced considerably and imaging now plays a central role in the assessment and treatment planning of the battlefield casualty.

Lieutenant Colonel Ballard will discuss the application of imaging in the patient pathway as applied within the field hospital at Camp Bastion in the Helmand province of Afghanistan. He will outline key points of trauma CT technique and demonstrate that the progression in the role and capability of imaging is underpinned by fundamental basics that translate directly to work at home in the NHS. Post-mortem imaging – the role of CT in forensic and sudden death investigations Lieutenant Colonel Iain Gibb The aim of this presentation is to introduce the concept of post-mortem computed tomography (CT) scanning in the investigation of traumatic deaths. I will discuss development of the techniques used, pitfalls and benefits of the technique compared with the traditional open post-mortem imaging. I will also discuss the wider role of CT in the investigation of sudden death and future potential roles in the wider community.
