Recensione:

In this excellent teaching aid, the authors from the Trauma and Emergency Radiology section of the University of Maryland have compiled a myriad of interesting cases that provide ample opportunity to rapidly familiarize the reader with the classic appearances of a range of emergent imaging pathology and key points concerning these diagnoses.

The format mirrors the style and content of the American Board of Radiology's oral examination and allows radiological trainees a realistic preparation for their test-taking experience.

Since each case in the book is distinct, this is the kind of text that one can pick up and review at any time day or night! I thoroughly recommend this fantastic book to all radiologists reviewing ED studies.
