This book provides an up-to-date, systematic review of all facets of emergency radiology in patients with chest trauma or pain with the aim of equipping the reader with a detailed knowledge of the various radiological patterns, which is essential in order to make a prompt diagnosis under circumstances when time is of critical importance. To this end, the indications, value, and results of the various emergency imaging modalities, including sonography and interventional radiology, are described and illustrated in the full range of blunt chest injuries and nontraumatic chest emergencies. 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.

Part I: Blunt Chest Trauma: Lung injury.- Injuries of the pleural space.- Bony thoracic and chest wall injuries.- Tracheo-bronchial injuries.- Esophageal injuries.- Aortic injuries.- Pericardial and Cardiac Injuries.- Injury to the Diaphragm.- Part II: Nontraumatic, Nonvascular Chest Emergencies: Infection.- Pleural and Chest Disease.- Pulmonary Abscess.- Airways.- Inflammatory Disease.- Cardiac Emergencies.- Vascular Chest Emergencies.- Aortic Aneurysms.- Acute Aortic Syndromes.- Aortic Fistula.- Aortic Thrombus.- Pulmonary Embolism.

"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. ...
