E-News: 2022 Imaging Recommendations For The Patient Who Has Been Strangled

Dear Friends,

 

Welcome to anotheedition of the Strangulation Prevention E-News. E-News was launched to share important information about non and near-fatal strangulation assaults. Each E-News focuses on one subject, highlights one organization or individual, and/or shares one featured resource. 

 

For this E-News, we are excited to highlight the new 2022 Imaging Recommendations For The Patient Who Has Been Strangled. This highly anticipated, updated resource was recently released and is already being implemented by professionals across the United States.


The Imaging Recommendations document is intended to be used primarily by medical professionals. However, we have heard from Advocates, Law Enforcement, Attorneys, and others who have successfully used the Recommendations document as a tool to advocate for survivors of strangulation assaults. 

 

The 2022 Imaging Recommendations as well as a recording of our most recent Imaging Webinar can be found through our online resource library. Please take a moment to review our Imaging Recommendations, latest Imaging Webinar recording, as well as a variety of other helpful resources linked below.


Thank you to our National Medical Advisory Committee for your unwavering dedication to educate others on the importance of imaging. The updated 2022 Imaging Recommendations are of the utmost importance and have already helped so many survivors of strangulation assaults. Your efforts have and will continue to save lives and we are incredibly grateful and proud to be doing this work with you.
