Acute CT is an exciting and challenging area of radiology which has largely replaced the more traditional forms of imaging in terms of emergency practice. Radiologists, radiographers, and anyone who is involved in acute CT imaging and its interpretation, need to keep abreast with the latest techniques in order to optimise the examination and gain the maximum diagnostic information from the images generated.Acute CT: A Primer of Emergency Imaging is a precise, up-to-date and comprehensive volume of a size and format that lends itself to easy reference. It forms an ideal bench book or pocket companion for junior radiologists who often have to deal with the demands of on-call practice. State-of-the art CT imaging protocols in the emergency and trauma setting are included along with protocol for the optimum use of contrast agents. The common emergency conditions and their differential diagnoses are presented in an easily read and understood format. This involves a 4-step practical approach.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is good at making simple explanations of complex radiology. This is a small book on emergency radiology ehich is easily readable. While it is aimed atthe on call junior radiologist for rapid reference, it covers its field very well without being too long and I would thoroughly recommendthat any trainee or consultant emergency physician should read it." -- BMA Medical Book Awards 2010 20100914
