Book description
An understanding of current trauma imaging concepts is essential for
all medical personnel involved in the care of trauma patients where the
outcome may depend on a rapid assessment of the nature and severity of
injuries, allowing appropriate medical management and surgical or
non-surgical intervention.
Containing more than 300 state of the art full colour images, the
ABC of Imaging in Trauma addresses this increasingly
important area and provides a concise and practical guide to the role,
performance and interpretation of emergency imaging procedures in
disaster victims and major trauma patients, and focuses on the use of
CT, ultrasound, and MRI scanning to diagnose such patients. It is
ideal for the non specialist and emergency physicians, Foundation
doctors, trainee radiologists, and specialist trauma nurses.
