Radiology of Trauma

This text summarizes the radiological tools available for diagnosing traumatized patients. One major feature of the book is the logical chain between mechanics of trauma and the resulting injuries. It reviews widely accepted trauma classifications, explains relevant examination methods, and summarizes the typical trauma patterns that can be expected with each imaging modality. The contributors give decision pathways based on their experience as well as on relevant scientific results. The book thus builds a bridge between the disciplines co-operating in hospitals in the treatment of acutely injured patients.
