The thoroughly revised, updated Fourth Edition of this highly
acclaimed classic remains the premier reference on the
radiologic assessment of all acute illnesses and injuries.
Written by experienced radiologists, the book provides up-to-
date, authoritative, unambiguous guidelines on the use and
interpretation of all relevant imaging studies--from
conventional radiography to CT, MRI, and ultrasound.
This edition features more CT, ultrasound, and MR images,
providing a crystal-clear view of structures affected in
emergency situations. The book details state-of-the-art
applications of ultrasound for scrotal, gynecologic, and
obstetrical emergencies and contemporary uses of CT for blunt
abdominal and thoracic trauma, pulmonary embolism, acute aortic
injury, and aortic dissection. Coverage of conventional
radiography has been extensively revised and includes many new
concepts on cervical spine, mid-face, and other injuries.
Chapters on acute non-traumatic abdominal emergencies, abdominal
trauma, and obstetric, gynecologic, and scrotal emergencies have
been completely rewritten by experts on those specific topics.
