Image-focused introductory text exploring various contemporary radiology modalities including X-ray, CT, Nuclear medicine, MRI, Ultrasound, and Interventional

Diagnostic Imaging and Anatomy in Acute Care provides an overview of imaging modalities, focusing on plain radiology, CT, ultrasound and MRI. Nuclear medicine and interventional radiology are also included in cases relevant to acute care. To aid in reader understanding, this book includes a multitude of pictures annotated with clinically relevant anatomy, enabling readers to compare normal anatomy with pathology and cross reference with previous anatomical knowledge.

Diagnostic Imaging and Anatomy in Acute Care includes discussion on: - How to effectively utilize radiology services when managing acute cases which are commonly present in emergency and urgent care
- Tips for dealing with time-sensitive situations where immediate reporting is not available
- Specific terminology pertaining to each different modality and how each modality can be interpreted systematically
- Methods to identify key abnormalities through effective usage of pattern recognition

Diagnostic Imaging and Anatomy in Acute Care is an essential reference on this subject for front line clinicians involved in acute care, specialty doctors who would like to know more about imaging modalities, nurses and allied health professionals with an interest in anatomy and imaging, and students of the above disciplines.
