Description
This well-organized, easy-to-use atlas of head CT scans serves as a teaching and reference tool for the emergency department physician. Subtle findings that can be missed by non-radiologists are emphasized. There are nine abundantly illustrated chapters, covering topics which range from the essentials of CT scans of the head to trauma, infections, and selected pediatric conditions. In addition, two appendices show normal anatomy for comparison.
