Giving pros and cons of each technique, it provides useful information and guidance on the appropriate choice of imaging. Symptom-based, rather than organ-based, the second part provides a practical approach to imaging patients with common surgical complaints in order to aid understanding and encourage a problem-solving approach to selecting different imaging modalities. Providing a simple diagnostic framework for common surgical situations, this useful guide will be invaluable for surgical residents, trainees, medical students, and consultant surgeons.
