The Bible in emergency radiology

Now in its third printing, Dr. Harris' monumental tome continues to set the standard. Along with the excellent text in well-written prose, Dr. Harris has strenghthened the book with the contributions from several experts in Emergency Radiology. They have supplied discussions on modern modalities including CT, US, MRI and Angiography. The book, however, retains its strenghth in the emphasis on mechanisms of injury, the subtleties available in plain radiography and the total approach to trauma with clinically-oriented imaging protocols. No ER should be without this superb text
