Riassunto

The purpose of this book is to show how a systematic analysis of accident and emergency radiographs allows the correct diagnosis to be derived while minimising errors. This book is aimed at accident and emergency doctors, surgical, medical and radiology specialist registrars and medical students. This lavishly illustrated pocket sized book facilitates instant consultation when faced with an X-ray. At the start of each chapter there is a description of the relevant anatomy followed by a quick and easy yet detailed systematic approach to all types of X-rays likely to be encountered in the accident and emergency department. The book is illustrated with easy to follow line diagrams as well as fully annotated illustrative examples and is divided into concise chapters covering a particular region or problem. In addition to providing a systematic approach to the interpretation of the X-ray, tables provide instant access to lists and there are useful tips and hints in avoiding mistakes. There is also a list of key points at the end of each chapter.

Recensione:

Accident and Emergency Radiology is a welcome, long awaited addition to the accident and emergency X-ray books, many of which are revised editions of older books. The book has 14 chapters covered in 164 pages. The first introductory chapter discusses the basic principles of accident and emergency film interpretation, which is applicable in general to X-ray interpretation. The next two chapters deal with chest and abdomen X-ray interpretation. These are excellent chapters and would also be useful in the ward setting. Chapters 4 to 12 deal with each major joint of the skeleton. The last two chapters are on paediatric trauma and foreign bodies. Each chapter is organized with a short discussion of the pertinent anatomy including developmental anatomy, radiographic interpretation and examples of various injuries. The book has a very pragmatic approach, for instance, on the sections on cervical spine and skull, it highlights that computed tomography has clearly superseded plain X-rays. The book is generously illustrated with radiographs and schematic diagrams. The chapters have useful sections on common interpretative errors which outline the common pitfalls to avoid in the interpretation of X-rays. An example is distinguishing the accessory ossicle from fracture, which is a common error. At the end of each chapter are key points that summarize the salient features of that chapter. --British Journal of Hospital Medicine
