An understanding of current trauma imaging concepts is essential for all medical personnel involved in the care of trauma patients where the outcome may depend on a rapid assessment of the nature and severity of injuries, allowing appropriate medical management and surgical or non–surgical intervention. Containing more than 300 state of the art full colour images, the ABC of Imaging in Trauma addresses this increasingly important area and provides a concise and practical guide to the role, performance and interpretation of emergency imaging procedures in disaster victims and major trauma patients, and focuses on the use of CT, ultrasound, and MRI scanning to diagnose such patients. It is ideal for the non specialist and emergency physicians, Foundation doctors, trainee radiologists, and specialist trauma nurses.

This book is fantastic for anyone studying or working within the imaging field, from general X-ray through to CT, MRI and Ultrasound. This rather thin manual tells you everything you need to know about trauma imaging from the staff involved, the methods of assessment (The GCS - Glasgow Coma Scale for example), which modalities are best suited to certain body parts and injuries and some of the pathways that can be taken on the road to recovery for trauma patients.
The images from each modality are quite something, printed on glossy pages and in detailed clarity I honestly couldn't complain when analysing the intricate aspects of each image. I haven't yet come across another trauma textbook that provided so much information that was understandable and still concise. The tips and tricks for diagnosis and treatment are probably the most useful part, since they explain and then demonstrate with images how to pick up some of the more difficult to spot fractures or pathologies.
So why haven't I given this 5 stars if it's so great? The problem is, many of the textbooks recommended on courses related to this field already cover much of what this guide has to offer. This shouldn't take away from how useful this textbook is and if it was the only book I'd invested in then it would be perfect. But during my studies I was recommended other core texts that already answered many of my questions. If you like to have a library of academic texts though to refer to this is just as good, if not better, than any others I've come across.
Hope this helps.
