This superbly illustrated book describes a comprehensive and modern
approach to the imaging of abdominal and pelvic emergencies of
traumatic and non-traumatic origin. The aim is to equip the reader
with a full understanding of the roles of advanced cross-sectional
imaging modalities, including dual-energy computed tomography
(DECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To this end, recent
literature on the subject is reviewed, and current controversies in
acute abdominal and pelvic imaging are discussed. Potential imaging
and related pitfalls are highlighted and up-to-date information
provided on differential diagnosis. The first two chapters explain
an evidence-based approach to the evaluation of patients and
present dose reduction strategies for multidetector CT imaging
(MDCT). The remaining chapters describe specific applications
of MDCT, DECT, and MRI for the imaging of both common and less
common acute abdominal and pelvic conditions, including disorders
in the pediatric population and pregnant patients. The book will be
of value to emergency and abdominal radiologists, general
radiologists, emergency department physicians and related
personnel, general and trauma surgeons, and trainees in all these
specialties.
