Description: Fundamentals of Emergency Radiology takes the mystery out of interpreting radiographic studies in critical situations - so you can diagnose problems and plan care strategies with greater speed, skill, and confidence! Bottom-line guidance, a head-to-toe format, and hundreds of clear illustrations help you to develop a systematic approach to imaging evaluation. Fundamentals of Emergency Radiology makes it easy to recognize normal anatomy and its variations; identify problems resulting from trauma, infection, tumors, and other sources; evaluate traumatic and nontraumatic conditions using easy-to-follow algorithms; interpret imaging studies with the aid of differential diagnosis tables; know when to order additional radiographic or laboratory examinations; and apply clinical and radiographic "pearls" that help you to avoid common diagnostic mistakes. What's more, Fundamentals of Emergency Radiology covers both adult and pediatric patients - so you'll be ready for everyone who needs you!
