Technological aspects, protocols tailored to the mechanism of injury, and post-processing techniques are also extensively covered. Emergency Radiology of the Chest and Cardiovascular System will be of value to general and interventional radiologists, radiology residents, radiology technicians, and all physicians and surgeons who work in emergency care.

“Aimed at radiology consultants and trainees, it will also be easily comprehensible for clinicians such as emergency medicine doctors, surgeons and physicians, not to mention allied health professionals. … this reasonably priced and up-to-date book brings together a wide background of expertise to deliver a systematic review of all facets of emergency radiology and chest trauma in the form of a quality printed textbook.” (Dr. Mohammed Rashid Akhtar, RAD Magazine, November, 2017)
“The purpose is to provide a comprehensive review of emergency conditions affecting the chest or cardiovascular system. The target audience is radiologists practicing in the emergency department. … A more appropriate audience would be clinical emergency medicine trainees who require an understanding of imaging findings in these organ systems. … This book reviews a comprehensive list of topics.” (Tara Catanzano, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
