Book Description | This pocket book is written primarily for doctors with little or no experience in the accident and emergency department and who are faced with the problem of radiological interpretation when no other help is readily at hand. Step-by-step methods for the assessment of radiographs help to answer the question `these look normal to me, but how can I be sure that I am not overlooking a subtle but important abnormality`. The book is liberally illustrated with high quality, well-annotated radiographs which assist the reader in the interpretation of abnormal/normal radiographic appearances. The focus is on common areas of injury with the emphasis being placed on the detection of those abnormalities that are most commonly overlooked or misinterpreted. Each chapter deals with the basic radiographs required, important anatomy, normal variants, a system for inspecting suggested views, types of injury and ends with a summary of key points. |
Editorial Review | It contains just the right amount of information to accommodate readers from trainees through to consultant or attending level; it can just as easily be used for revision as it can for reference. Reviewed?by African Journal of Emergency Medicine, Jun 2015 "Since the publication of the first edition in 1995, this book has been essential reading for anyone working in the acute world of a casualty department. This book will provide essential reading and support to A&E trainees, medical students, radiology trainees, reporting radiographers and clinical nurse specialists, all of whom may be faced with trauma cases requiring accurate diagnosis and treatment. It will [also] remind more senior clinical staff about some of the less frequent signs and principles relating to radiograph interpretation." Reviewed by RAD Magazine, Feb 2015 |
