Description
This book is a highly visual guide to the radiographic and advanced imaging modalities – such as computed tomography and ultrasonography – that are frequently used by physicians during the treatment of emergency patients. Covering practices ranging from ultrasound at the point of care to the interpretation of CT scan results, this book contains over 2,200 images, each with detailed captions and line-art that highlight key findings. Within each section, particular attention is devoted to practical tricks of the trade and tips for avoiding common pitfalls. Overall, this book is a useful source for experienced clinicians, residents, mid-level providers, or medical students who want to maximize the diagnostic accuracy of each modality without losing valuable time.
Reviews
Bought this for my 4th year EM clerkship. It presents pathology in a diagnosis-first manner (similar to FA for Step 1), where is has a section for each disease process that highlights pertinent history, physical, lab findings, and then states treatment. While the information is great, it isn’t too helpful from a real-world (or test question) standpoint, which works from a chief complaint -> ddx -> diagnosis -> treatment. I ended up not using this book after the first week of my clerkship.
