TraumaRadiology Companion, Second Editionis an easy-to-use, quick reference for trauma imaging designed for radiology residents, radiologists, and emergency physicians. The bulleted, key point format allows rapid access to succinct information for use in the clinical setting. Unlike traditional radiologic texts that emphasize image interpretation and follow a radiographic pattern, disease-oriented, anatomic site, or modality-specific approach, thishandbook provides easy-to-look-up answers to common and uncommon questions that arise in day-to-day work, as well as in training and studying.
