A great source of examples that can be referred to in the heat of emergency. Mistakes can easily be made when interpreting emergency radiographs.

Each chapter covers a different part of the body and leads you through the anatomy, followed by the different types of view to request, the system of assessment itself, and pitfalls to avoid. With its clear explanation, combined with over 400 radiographs and illustrations, this essential book provides a great source of examples that can be referred to in the heat of an emergency.
