L’activité radiologique d’urgence est aujourd’hui en constante hausse, aussi bien dans les hôpitaux universitaires que dans les cliniques privées. Or, l’impact d’un diagnostic rapide par imagerie est considérable sur la prise en charge du patient. Ce livre a pour ambition de répondre de manière pratique aux besoins des radiologues, des urgentistes et des internes, afin d’améliorer la demande des examens et surtout leur interprétation en détaillant les signes clés et les pièges diagnostiques. Cet ouvrage se divise en deux parties : urgences traumatiques et urgences non traumatiques. À l’intérieur, les chapitres sont construits à partir de situations cliniques fréquentes. Ils décrivent alors la sémiologie radiologique des principales affections observées, en insistant sur les images pièges ou trompeuses, abordent l’impact diagnostique de l’imagerie et proposent différentes stratégies décisionnelles. Le contenu, très structuré, permet d’arriver rapidement à l’essentiel : les textes sont courts, contiennent des encadrés spécifiques pour les points importants ou difficiles, et l’iconographie, qui repose sur l’imagerie en coupes, est abondante. Le praticien peut ainsi accéder à l’information de manière facile et efficace, en lien avec son exercice quotidien.
