In the emergency department, consistent and accurate interpretation of radiographs is vital for the care of the acutely ill or injured patient. Written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians, this new title conveys the information required to interpret routine radiographic studies with the signposts for quick and accurate diagnosis. The book organizes the crucial and most elemental information, combining clear instructional figures and tables with clinically relevant text. High quality radiographs are accompanied by line drawings which more clearly define the anatomy as seen in the image. (20010101)

RADIOLOGY FOR EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS,
By Jim Lai (Brooklyn, New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emergency Radiology (Hardcover)
Schwartz's Emergency Radiology was written by emergency physicians and it shows. It serves its mission well, that is, to teach radiology as it pertains to emergency physicians (from the foot to the brain, from CT scans to plain films) as well as serve as a valuable reference in the busy ED. High-yield radiographic images and anatomical schematics correlate nicely with the well-written text. The authors assume very little as the book relies on basic pathophysiology and general medical descriptives (understood by even beginning medical students) rather than the obscure terminology of most radiology texts (which are written by radiologists). The book goes further to correlate abnormal radiographic findings with the incidence of actual significant pathology, making it an exceptionally useful tool in this day and age of cost-effective resource utilization. Medical students will find it very readable and extremely valuable in its basic foundations. (I personally wish I had this as a student). Seasoned attendings in any field (maybe even radiologists!) will find definite practical value as well. In summary, this unique textbook comes highly recommended by this emergency resident who prefers to truly understand the pathophysiology behind radiographic findings and its clinical relevance without unnecessary details.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent text for emergency med residents,
By "dcalbany" (albany, ny) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emergency Radiology (Hardcover)
I'm a second year emergency med resident, and I love this book. It's written for and aimed at emergency physicians. There are a lot of black and white photos of x-rays, CTs, and some ultrasound. There are also many hand-drawn illustrations that highlight what the radiograph photos are showing. Because this book is written by EM docs, there is a focus on clinical treatment. The text really focuses on what's important in interpreting and managing pts with these radiographic findings. There are a lot of photos, illustrations, and easy-to-read useful tables. I only wish that there were more ultrasound photos, but despite that criticism, I can confidently recommend this book to any serious EM resident.

Easily the best EM radiology book I've seen. Well-illustrated, well-written, well-referenced, addresses current imaging controversies, and is full of great teaching points.
