Radiologists in emergency department settings are uniquely
positioned to identify and provide effective, appropriate care to
vulnerable patient populations. Emergency Imaging of At-Risk
Patients fills a void in the literature by illustrating challenges
in emergency and trauma imaging of vulnerable patients using a
head-to-toe approach. Drawing on the vast clinical experience of
emergency and trauma radiologists from the largest academic medical
centers across North America, this reference presents basic and
advanced emergency imaging concepts, relevant case studies, current
controversies and protocols, and subtle imaging findings that help
guide clinicians to efficient and accurate diagnoses and
treatments. Provides a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to
imaging of non-traumatic and traumatic emergencies in at-risk
patients. Covers acute brain, thoracic, abdominal, and
musculoskeletal conditions, including the unique challenges of
imaging pregnant, geriatric, bariatric, cancer, immunocompromised,
and pediatric patients, as well as patients using recreational
drugs. Describes specific applications of ultrasound, MRI,
radiography, and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Reviews
recent imaging-related clinical literature and appropriate criteria
and guidelines. A valuable tool for emergency and general
radiologists, as well as pediatricians, obstetricians,
gynecologists, orthopedic, trauma surgeons, and trainees in all
specialties. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your
enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and
references from the book on a variety of devices.
