A-Z of Emergency Radiology (A-Z (Cambridge University Press))

A-Z of Emergency Radiology is aimed at trainee and practising radiologists, as well as all other healthcare professionals involved in interpreting scans of all imaging modalities in the emergency room setting. It provides a simple, easily accessible guide to the key aspects of the most commonly encountered problems. The simple A-Z format of the book allows the reader to look up the key features of a known condition, or to quickly confirm a suspected diagnosis. For each condition, the presentation, key features on seen imaging, and the diagnostic (and differential diagnostic) aspects are all described, with suggestions made for further useful investigations and subsequent treatment where appropriate. Linked conditions, or those with a similar appearance on imaging, are cross-referenced throughout. Image quality is paramount, and the key features of each image are clearly labeled to help the trainee identify the points of interest. "A-Z of Emergency Radiology is a quick reference and self-teaching tool for the trainee and junior radiologist, but it will also be a useful information source and provide quick diagnostic information for busy emergency department personnel who may not actually be taking the images, but need to know how to interpret them in order to make treatment decisions. The structure and format of the book also means that it will be the ideal self-assessment tool for postgraduate examination candidates."--Jacket
