Recenzje

From the reviews:

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and it gave me the feeling of a refresher course on acute radiological emergency. ... a very good book for all radiology trainees as well as consultants who are involved in emergency on-call, as it will give them insight into all the relevant emergencies they will surely come across at some stage during their career. The book is well written and the authors have made very good efforts to address the relevant information." (Nizar Damani, RAD Magazine, June, 2014)

Blurb

In the emergency and trauma setting, accurate and consistent interpretation of imaging studies are critical to the care of acutely ill and injured patients. Emergency Radiology: Imaging of Acute Pathologies is a comprehensive review of radiological diagnoses commonly encountered in the emergency room by radiologists, residents, and fellows.  The book is organized by anatomical sections that present the primary ER imaging areas of the acute abdomen, pelvis, thorax, neck, head, brain and spine, and osseous structures.  For each section, the common diagnoses are concisely described and are accompanied by relevant clinical facts and key teaching points that emphasize the importance of radiological interpretation in clinical patient management.  The role of modalities such as plain radiography, CT, ultrasound, MR, and nuclear medicine imaging in managing emergency conditions is highlighted.
