"The intent is to provide a comprehensive review of imaging findings in trauma patients. The book focuses on patients with more than one site of injury and addresses patterns of injuries that are often found together. The authors identify radiologists as the primary audience and, indeed, the book is appropriate for this audience. ... This is a thorough review of imaging findings in trauma that is well written with excellent images." (Tara M. Catanzano, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2018)
