Emergency Radiology

OVERVIEW

In the emergency department, consistent and accurate interpretation of radiographs is vital for the care of the acutely ill or injured patient. Written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians, this new title conveys the information required to interpret routine radiographic studies with the signposts for quick and accurate diagnosis. The book organizes the crucial and most elemental information, combining clear instructional figures and tables with clinically relevant text. High quality radiographs are accompanied by line drawings which more clearly define the anatomy as seen in the image.
