Acute CT: A Primer of Emergency Imaging is a precise, up to date volume of a size and format that aims to provide a concise source of reference for all clinical groups involved in acute or trauma CT.

This book is good at making simple explanations of complex radiology. This is a small book on emergency radiology ehich is easily readable. While it is aimed atthe on call junior radiologist for rapid reference, it covers its field very well without being too long and I would thoroughly recommendthat any trainee or consultant emergency physician should read it.
