Assessment of RAdiopaque Patient IDentification Stickers (RAPIDS) for patient-scan correlation in a mass casualty incident.

In a mass casualty incident, radiopaque patient identification stickers affixed to injured patients may help to ensure confidence in the correlation between patients and their imaging. Tested prototypes were found to be easily legible without substantial degradation of image quality. Preferred anatomical position and construction material was established. Consideration should be given to addition of such radiographic identity aides to MCI patient registration packs.
