Critical Care Radiology

Learn to make quick diagnoses in critical situations with this user-friendly companion for on-call radiologists. Critical Care Radiology will help readers rapidly develop an accurate radiological diagnosis in a critical care setting and overcome difficulties typically encountered in intensive care such as limited image quality, non-specific findings, and time constraints.

Written by an interdisciplinary team of experts in radiology and critical care medicine, this book provides a concise overview of how to use the latest radiologic imaging technology in an intensive care setting. For each pathologic entity the authors provide concise descriptions of imaging strategies, morphologic findings, and differential diagnoses. The text covers diseases seen in internal medicine but also describes normal postoperative findings as well as postoperative acute complications, which makes the book a valuable companion in a surgical as well as in a non-surgical ICU ward. High-quality radiographs and CT images enhance the text throughout.
