9781901346282: Emergency Radiology: Rules and Tools

Synopsis

Emergency Radiology stands out from other Accident and Emergency books. No other book specifically targets those new to reporting or reviewing emergency X-rays or those finding themselves in hot seat reporting situations. The book contains 100 case studies, enabling readers to test themselves on both common and rare and easy-to-miss fractures. The book is divided anatomically. Each chapter begins by setting out the rules and tools on approaching suspected fractures in each anatomical region, before moving on to the case studies. Particular attention has been paid to fractures that are rarely seen, but are vital to spot, such as cervical spine injuries. In addition, normal films are included to mimic the reality of emergency film reporting. Clear X-rays and concise practical answers ensure that this book can be consulted in everyday situations.

Review

'...about as comprehensive as a small book on a massive subject can be. The case studies...sound all too familiar' -- Jonathan Wyatt, The Royal Cornwall Hospital

Synopsis

Although books on accident and emergency radiology exist, there are no learning resources for those new to reporting or reviewing emergency X-rays. This text has a quiz format covering 150 cases, enabling the reader to test themselves on common as well as rare and easy-to-miss fractures. Particularly difficult areas such as the cervical spine are covered in depth. In addition, some normal films are included to mimic the reality of emergency film reporting. Each X-ray is clearly shown with concise practical answers that can be applied to every day situations. The book is designed to be dipped into by radiology and orthopaedic trainees, radiographers reporting X-ray films, and casualty officers, medical students and nurses.
