Opis

Critical Care Radiology will enable readers to develop rapid, accurate diagnoses
despite the many difficulties associated with the bedside evaluation, including
time constants and the low specificity of chest radiographs and postoperative
abdominal studies. Written by an interdisciplinary team of experts in radiology
and critical care medicine, this book provides a concise overview of how to use
the latest diagnostic imaging technology in the intensive care setting. Each
chapter contains brief descriptions of normal and morphologic findings, imaging
strategies and techniques, differential diagnoses, and potential complications.
High-quality radiographs and CT scans enhance the text throughout.
