Publisher's Synopsis
This well-organized, easy to use atlas comprised of CT scan images of various intracranial emergencies serve as a teaching tool as well as a valuable reference book for the emergency department physician. Subtle findings that can be missed by non-radiologists are emphasized.
There are nine abundantly illustrated chapters, covering topics which range from the essentials of CT scans of the head to trauma, infections, and selected pediatric conditions. In addition, two appendices show normal anatomy for comparison, and selected references for additional information.
A checklist shows physicians what questions to ask themselves when looking at a scan.
