This book is intended to be a quick reference handbook in every radiology and A&E department globally. It covers a wide range of emergencies and specifically targets on-call radiologists and trainees who deal with these emergencies. We feel that this guide in emergency radiology will be very useful for all radiologists who want to regain or retain their skills and confidence in acute care imaging.
This book is primarily intended for radiology residents, registrars, junior attending physicians and consultants across the world. Radiologists in private practice may find this book useful to maintain their skills in a wide range of emergencies. The intended readership is not limited to radiologists but also includes medical students, radiology assistants, physicians, surgeons, ER doctors and radiographers who work closely with radiologists.
This book has numerous high-quality images of various radiological emergencies involving head, cardiovascular, chest, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. It also covers radiological emergencies in pediatrics and musculoskeletal imaging and in modalities such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound and MRI with depiction of corresponding high-resolution images. Under each diagnosis/topic in this book, there are technical notes which will assist on-call radiologists to provide a protocol for the study specific to the need of patients. In addition to salient radiological features, each topic in the book briefly mentions some useful tips and pitfalls under “pearls” and some helpful information on signs and symptoms under “clinical features,” which would assist the on-call radiologist especially when receiving calls out-of-hours.
This book will be very useful to trainees in the preparation of international radiology exams including FRCR, DMRD, ABR, MD (Radiodiagnosis) and also in the preparation of medical and surgical exams such as MRCP and MRCS.
