Diagnostic Imaging for the Emergency Physician, written and edited by a practicing emergency physician for emergency
physicians, takes a step-by-step approach to the selection and interpretation of commonly ordered diagnostic imaging
tests.
Dr. Joshua Broder presents validated clinical decision rules, describes time-efficient approaches for the
emergency physician to identify critical radiographic findings that impact clinical management and discusses hot topics
such as radiation risks, oral and IV contrast in abdominal CT, MRI versus CT for occult hip injury, and more.
Detailed
explanations and numerous images-in print and online at www.expertconsult.com-help you order and interpret studies,
