Radiological diagnosis and management presently play
an instrumental role in providing the highest standards of
care in the acutely ill or multitrauma patient who enters the
emergency department, and it is imperative that radiologists
and other clinicians be well aware and adequately informed
of the actual trends and concepts, as well as the latest
advances, in this rapidly growing field.
The book provides unique and authentic descriptions
of the role of imaging and intervention in practically all
facets of traumatic and non-traumatic, as well as acute and
life-threatening, conditions of modern medicine.
The book is divided into seven sections. Following introductory
in-depth coverage of the present use of 3D
imaging in the dedicated emergency room and the role of
imaging in the management of polytrauma patients, the
book describes in great detail imaging and intervention of
all common, and less common, traumatic and non-traumatic
neurological, thoracic, abdominal, gastrointestinal,
pelvic, musculoskeletal, vascular, and pediatric emergencies.
