This comprehensive book serves as a thorough examination of acute pathologies commonly encountered in the emergency room, as diagnosed through radiologic imaging. Organized by anatomical sections, it presents the primary imaging areas of the acute abdomen, pelvis, thorax, neck, head, brain, and spine, as well as osseous structures. For each section, the common diagnoses are concisely described, accompanied by relevant clinical facts and key teaching points that underscore the significance of radiologic interpretation in clinical patient management. The role of modalities such as plain radiography, computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine imaging in managing emergency conditions is emphasized. The Second Edition of this text has been thoroughly updated, featuring over 400 images and multiple choice questions in each chapter. With a focus on core concepts in emergency radiology, this book is an invaluable resource for radiologists, residents, and fellows alike.
