This book explains what to look for and what to do in acutely injured patients. The appropriate radiological methods of examination are discussed, and typical trauma patterns with each modality are outlined and illustrated. The authors are accredited experts in their fields, and the book will appeal to surgeons, radiologists, and traumatologists.

One of the major benefits of the book is the logical chain between mechanics of trauma and the resulting injuries. It reviews widely accepted classifications of traumas, explains proper examination methods and summarizes the typical trauma patterns that can be expected in the respected imaging modality.
