Reviews

Without a doubt, the radiology resident doing a rotation in the emergency department can now look to Emergency Radiology: The Requisites as a single source for expert instruction in this complex realm. But equally important, this new text might be of greater benefit to emergency medicine, pediatric emergency medicine, and trauma physicians and their trainees - JAMA Review, Vol 302- September 2009

"The book is extremely well organised and each chapter is well written with a reasonably comprehensive review of all the main emergency conditions...This book is an excellent contribution by all the authors to the field of emergency radiology...I very much enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to every radiologist, who will definitely find something they may have forgotten."
