Fundamentals for Emergency Radiology, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Emergency Radiology, 1e (Fundamentals of Radiology) (Paperback)
An excellent, concise, yet thorough overview of the radiologic exams which medical students, residents and ER physicians order on a daily basis in order to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of acute illnesses/injuries in the Emergency Room. This is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of everything radiological. It is purposefully focused on radiology for the specific needs of emergency medical personnel. The book contains many very good radiographs which are labeled and marked for educational purposes. Additionally it contains tables and algorithms for differential diagnoses which are extremely helpful. This book is a must for medical students and residents preparing for and going through an ER rotation, but could undoubtedly be valuable to a physician at all stages of his/her career as a review and reference text. Don't let the small size of this book fool you into thinking it must be inferior. It has everything you need to know to approach the issue of radiologic diagnostic testing of the acutely ill/injured patient.
