Emergency Radiology is a quick reference pocketbook for radiologists worldwide working in any emergency or acute care setting. It acts both as a checklist of presenting features to enable accurate interpretation of diagnostic imaging investigations and as a guide to understanding the basics of performing therapeutic or diagnostic interventional procedures. A wide range of emergencies are reviewed, giving all pertinent information in a concise presentation for on-call radiologists and trainees who encounter these emergencies out-of-hours. The text is complemented by high quality images of emergency conditions in all body systems, including head, cardiovascular, chest, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. Pediatrics, fluoroscopy, ultrasound and the use of MRI in emergencies are also discussed. Emergency Radiology is an invaluable for all radiologists, emergency physicians and radiography technicians, as well as for any healthcare practitioner involved in patient care in the emergency or acute care environment.
