Fundamentals of Emergency Radiology is a practical clinical reference focused on the rapid and systematic evaluation of trauma, acute illness, and other time-critical conditions through modern medical imaging.

The book begins with the foundations of emergency radiology, including imaging triage, appropriateness criteria, emergency workflow, structured interpretation, critical findings, and communication. It then examines the major imaging modalities used in acute care, including radiography, CT, ultrasound, MRI, and contrast-enhanced imaging.

A major section focuses on trauma imaging, with dedicated coverage of head and spinal trauma, maxillofacial and neck injuries, thoracic trauma, cardiovascular and aortic emergencies, abdominal and pelvic trauma, and musculoskeletal injuries. Pediatric and obstetric emergencies are also addressed, alongside important nontraumatic presentations such as acute abdominal disease, stroke, vascular disorders, infection and sepsis, oncologic emergencies, toxicologic conditions, foreign bodies, and environmental injuries.

The book also explores the expanding role of imaging in emergency intervention, including embolization, thrombectomy, thrombolysis, endovascular treatment, percutaneous drainage, and other image-guided procedures. Its final chapters consider mass-casualty response, disaster radiology, teleradiology, artificial intelligence, automated image triage, and emerging technologies.

Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on connecting clinical presentation, imaging selection, systematic interpretation, recognition of critical findings, and timely communication. The volume includes clinical case studies, a terminology glossary, grading and classification quick reference, contrast-reaction management protocol, critical-findings communication template, and case-study index.

Designed for radiology residents, emergency radiology trainees, practicing radiologists, emergency physicians, surgeons, radiologic technologists, medical students, and other healthcare professionals, this book provides a structured resource for navigating the complex imaging challenges encountered in emergency care.
