Imaging in Critical Care Medicine (2024) Anirban Hom Choudhuri

Description

Imaging in critically ill patients is a ubiquitous but challenging line of investigation for the physician as accurate interpretation is often difficult as patient cooperation during the procedure is grossly compromised, and the resultant image is often suboptimal. This book provides details on principles of imaging and the diagnostic hallmarks of common diseases to assist in correct interpretation. It contains guidance to overcome the deficiencies observed during the performance of bedside imaging and equipment handling and addresses the rationale for various procedural/management and imaging approaches. Features case-based scenarios in critical care as well as a section on tropical diseases. Reduces the dependency on the radiologist and helps physician save time, enhancing the quality of patient care.
