This book presents evidence-based criteria to systematically assess
the appropriate use of medical imaging in the emergency department
and other acute care settings. Over the last decade, there have
been profound changes in the diagnostic testing and work-up of
patients presenting to the emergency department with emergent
symptoms. One of the most far-reaching changes has been the
increased availability, speed, and accuracy of imaging due, in
part, to technical improvements in imaging modalities such as CT,
MR, and PET. Although the use of high-end imaging has plateaued in
general, increased utilization continues in the ED. These patients
are more acutely ill and there is additional pressure to make an
accurate diagnosis as quickly as possible to facilitate prompt
disposition or treatment. There is also strong evidence for the
beneficial use of imaging in the emergency setting that results in
improved patient outcomes. This book answers that need by providing
protocols and guidelines for neuroradiological, cardiothoracic,
abdominal and pelvic, musculoskeletal, and pediatric imaging are
reviewed in terms of the available imaging modalities, diagnostic
criteria, and treatment options. Distinguished by its unique focus
on evidence-based emergency imaging in adults, children, and
special populations, this book is a unique resource for
radiologists, emergency medicine physicians, and physicians in
other specialties who need to be informed about the most
appropriate uses of diagnostic imaging in the emergency care
setting.
