A comprehensive reference for emergency radiology and an unsurpassed source of practical information about imaging of the acutely ill and injured patients. While the focus remains on conventional, plain-film radiography--still the most commonly performed examinations in emergency and trauma settings--substantial coverage is given to MRI, CT (including for blunt abdominal & thoracic trauma), CT angiography (for lower & upper extremities and esp. for gunshot wounds) in the emergency dept., and ultrasound. This fifth edition--despite that it's been more than ten years since the fourth--remains the gold standard of texts on emergency radiology, with appeal both to radiologists and emergency medicine specialists.
