Description
Book SynopsisAn understanding of current trauma imaging concepts is essential for all medical personnel involved in the care of trauma patients where the outcome may depend on a rapid assessment of the nature and severity of injuries, allowing appropriate medical management and surgical or non-surgical intervention.
Trade Review"This is a good overview for trainees or non-trauma specialists. Line drawings and images effectively illustrate many of the technical considerations in injury detection." (Doody's, 23 September 2011)
