Rapid acquisition and interpretation of radiographs, portable ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) are now the mainstay of initial successful management of sick and traumatized patients presenting to Accident and Emergency Departments.

The ABC of Emergency Radiology is a simple and logical step-by-step guide on how to interpret radiographs, US and CT. It incorporates all the latest technological advances, including replacing plain radiographs with digital radiographs, changes in imaging protocols and the role of portable US and multidetector CT.

With over 400 illustrations and annotated radiographs, this thoroughly revised third edition provides more images, new illustrations, and new chapters on emergency US and CT that reflect current practice. Each chapter starts with radiological anatomy, standard and then additional views, a systematic approach to interpretation (ABC approach) and followed by a review of common abnormalities.

The ABC of Emergency Radiology is an invaluable resource for accident and emergency staff, trainee radiologists, medical students, nurses, radiographers and all medical personnel involved in the immediate care of trauma patients.

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable resource for ER Clinicians
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013
The ABC series in general, are designed to take care and establish a set of requisite resources for General Practitioners, senior house officers, junior doctors, doctors in training and all those in primary care as well a cross section of medical support staff. For the purposes of this book, this resource is aimed at Clinicians that work in and around the area of the Emergency Room, and those medical staffs involved in the direct care of trauma patients.

1. This 3rd edition is fully revised and updated

2. Highly illustrated - with 400 diagrams and their interpreted radiographs, this delivers more images, and new illustrations

3. Designed as easy-to-use resource, interpretation for radiographers and indeed anyone who needs quick acquisition and interpretation of radiographs.

This book then is a great introduction to radiology in its relation to initial impact and assessment in ER, highly recommended.

Gives systematic guides to interpretting radiological images, including CT head. Thoroughly recommend this to any student approaching exams. I think I'll be getting lots of use from this as a qualified too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for student radiographers, red dot modules and revising for CT head anatomy and pathologies etc
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2014
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I have just finished a degree in diagnostic radiography and I received this book towards the end of my second year. After a quick flick through I was unsure the book would be of any use to me but this quickly changed as soon as the final year started and we studied a module in red dotting. From this point on the book got quite a lot of usage and was handy to take into placement to read through whenever I had a bit of spare time. It was invaluable in preparing for my CT head clinical assessment and I would recommend this book to other students in their final year of a diagnostic radiography degree.

It contains quite a lot of information and I found it helpful for refreshing my memory of the basics etc as well as picking up some quite important things. Although there is a fair amount of text and it may look overwhelming at first glance, once you start reading it is quite easy to follow and take in without the need to grab other books etc to look up related things (if that makes any sense). I didn't use it for anything else but it was a godsend for that module and my assessment.

5.0 out of 5 stars getting to grips with radiology
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2013
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I have always found radiographs a bit tricky to interpret and having this book has helped my understanding immensely. It is written in easy to understand language for students and experts alike, covers assessment of injuries and provides relevant pictures with clear explanations to aid in the identification and understanding of the injury being explained. An excellent book which I am glad to have discovered now as a third year medical student and I would recommend it to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much needed update to an essential resource for A&E department
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 15, 2013
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is a much needed update to an essential resource for any A&E department. Having grown up with its predecessors, this one puts the rest to shame in terms of teaching, quick acquisition and presentation.

If you follow the ABC format, in terms of being concise with bite size facts and diagrams/illustrations/tables, then this ticks the boxes. Common things are presented very well. Less common things fairly so. This is NOT meant to be a Radiology reference textbook but a on hand practical reference text for emergencies. The less common presentations are going to be run by senior radiology specialists and not this text.
