Book description
Rapid acquisition and interpretation of radiographs, portable
ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) are now the mainstay of
initial successful management of sick and traumatized patients
presenting to Accident and Emergency Departments.
The ABC of Emergency Radiology is a simple and logical
step-by-step guide on how to interpret radiographs, US and CT. It
incorporates all the latest technological advances, including
replacing plain radiographs with digital radiographs, changes in
imaging protocols and the role of portable US and multidetector CT.
With over 400 illustrations and annotated radiographs, this
thoroughly revised third edition provides more images, new
illustrations, and new chapters on emergency US and CT that reflect
current practice. Each chapter starts with radiological anatomy,
standard and then additional views, a systematic approach to
interpretation (ABC approach) and followed by a review of common abnormalities.
The ABC of Emergency Radiology is an invaluable resource for
accident and emergency staff, trainee radiologists, medical students,
nurses, radiographers and all medical personnel involved in the
immediate care of trauma patients
