Inhaltsangabe:

This is today's most in-depth reference on this growing subspecialty of emergency radiology, edited by one of the world's leading authorities on the subject. Dr. Stuart E. Mirvis is the Associate Editor of Radiology, past President of the American Society of Emergency Radiology, and a long-standing associate of the world-renowned R. Adams Cowley Shock-Trauma Center at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. This resource includes over 1225 images, drawn from the Shock-Trauma Center's unparalleled collection, that demonstrate the typical and atypical presentations of all types of subtle and overt traumatic injuries seen in children and adults. Readers will find all the guidance they need to select the most appropriate imaging studies for any clinical situation and recognize major injuries as they appear.

• Encompasses a full range of modalities and techniques-from conventional radiology to CT-fluoroscopy, vascular intervention, CT-angiography, multi-slice CT, MPR, and more.
• Presents imaging algorithms that are applicable to a variety of trauma scenarios, discussing current imaging controversies where relevant.
• Reviews the advantages and limitations of various modalities as applied to different anatomic regions.
• Demonstrates the clinical utility of multi-slice CT imaging and MPR in the evaluation of subtle injuries and complex anatomic regions.
• Discusses clinical aspects of major injuries and critical care complications in conjunction with imaging findings to foster a multidisciplinary understanding of each problem.
• Emphasizes diagnostic pitfalls to help readers avoid common misdiagnoses related to image interpretation.
• Features unparalleled coverage of craniocerebral trauma · angiography and interventional radiology in trauma · thoracic imaging in ICU patients · cervical spine trauma (including common normal radiographic variants that simulate injury) · selective application of 3D imaging for maxillofacial trauma · the use of CT versus US for abdominal imaging · and more.
