Product 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 radiologic interpretation when no other help is readily at hand. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A quick and handy guide to interpreting trauma images,
By A Customer
This review is from: Accident and Emergency Radiology: A Survival Guide (Paperback)
This handy-sized book contains simple schemes to follow when viewing and interpreting trauma radiographs. For staff working in a busy accident and emergency department, there is no time to refer to a 'wordy' book in order to locate the relevant information required. This book is fairly comprehensive with regards to the A&E setting, containing sufficient and relevant information appropriate to the A&E situation in bullet points (not lengthy sentences), and many radiographs to illustrate both the normal and abnormal conditions. It also highlights the common mistakes made by A&E clinicians in interpreting certain normal radiographs as abnormal.However, as the author also pointed out in the preface, this book is not exhaustive in its contents of trauma imaging as it especially highlights the pitfalls faced by A&E clinicians when interpreting trauma radiographs and deliberately omitting the 'obvious'. Nevertheless, this book is a good and quick reference tool in the A&E setting, not only to A&E clinicians and trainee radiologists (as it was originally targeted), but also to radiographers and nurses in the A&E team. A 'must have' for all A&E departments!

Comprehensive coverage,
By Trauma Doc (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accident and Emergency Radiology: A Survival Guide (Paperback)
Well set out and devised. Useful adjunct for on the floor clinical teaching in the emergency department. Good crammer for exams and for docs in training to get a handle on basic radiology. Could be improved with a little more information pertaining to CT and MRI as it is becoming an increasingly common request for ED physicians to review these scans without a report

Essential bedtime reading.,

This review is from: Accident and Emergency Radiology: A Survival Guide (Paperback)
When you've already got enough to do, this book really helps to focus on the common cases and the important rarities. Good explanations but some xrays are poor (probably techincal or my inability to see the pathology?!), however the line drawings fill in the gap.This book is excellent for most grades of junior doctors but essential for casualty and surgical trainees. More importantly it is small enough to carry with you to work or exam.
