Atlas of Emergency Radiology

Abstract

This book’s greatest strength is the presentation of each radiographic entity in three ways. First the radiologist provides a Radiographic Summary. This summary is a succinct explanation of the radiograph’s findings. Then the emergency physician provides the Clinical Implications, which is a brief focused discussion on the mechanism of injury, related complications, or likely other clinical findings. Finally in the Pearls Section, both authors combine their expertise and many years of clinical experience to teach important related facts and “pearls” of wisdom. The book is organized into 12 chapters based on anatomic regions from head to toe and each chapter is divided into traumatic and non-traumatic conditions.
