A-Z Emergency Radiology

Аннотация

The book is divided into conveniently recognised body sections;head and face, cervical spine, thorax, abdomen, upper limb and lower limb.Within each section we have covered a‘core’set of diagnoses that regularly present themselves toA&E and, where possible, have subdivided each diagnosis according to characteristic, clinical features,radiological features and management.The supplied radiographs have been chosen both for their high quality and as excellent examples of the conditions being described. We have intentionally avoided being over-expansive with the text in this book, as it is intended to be a concise overview to emergency radiology and is meant to help expedite a patient’s passage through theA&E setting.It is with this in mind that we feel this work is not only suited to both undergraduate students and doctors at all stages of their training, but also to A&E nurse practitioners and to other ancillary medical staff involved in emergency medicine.
