Ebook Neurologi : Emergency Neuroradiology ; A Case Based Approach

---

To whom does Emergency Radiology belong? Radiology spe-
cialists, radiology generalists, emergency physicians? The truth

is that it probably “belongs” to all, depending on where one
works. At most teaching hospitals, trainees initially interpret all
studies, which are later reviewed by specialists, while at other
hospital generalists (sometimes called night hawks) do it all,
and at even smaller community hospitals the emergency room
personnel may be in charge of rendering the initial imaging
interpretations for acutely sick patients. Regardless of who does
the initial interpretation of these studies, our knowledge about
how to interpret them should come from the best and most
experienced specialists, and that is where this case-based book
by Drs. Tang, Mukherjee, and Wintermark makes its mark.
Why another case-based book? The way we teach and learn

has drastically changed in the last 15 years. While most radi-
ologists of my generation learned by reading (prose) books,

younger individuals no longer do it this way. Millennials and
Generation Z obtain and process knowledge differently, that is,
their knowledge is no longer built in blocks but in a pyramidal
fashion by laying a foundation and then building on top of it via

the process of accumulating small information bites, synthesiz-
ing them, coordinating them, and ending with a good rounded

fund of knowledge (or a tall pyramid!). While I learned mostly
from text and imagination, newer generations learn mostly in a
pictorial fashion, which is perhaps easier and more lasting. This
new book does the latter.

Emergency Neuroradiology: A Case-Based Approach is the
title of the book you have in your hands – and its name implies
expert knowledge, easily delivered and digestible. Beautiful

images are accompanied by pithy text and to-the-point infor-
mation. Cases are grouped into large and general sections, mak-
ing them easy to find in a hurry. Beyond the usual emergent situ-
ations, some cases such as “sinus pericranii” may be useful when

facing this entity as an incidental finding in the ED (such as a
patient presenting with a bump on the head). CT abounds but
MRI, which is increasingly used in emergencies, is also amply

represented. We neuroradiologists know that often head emer-
gencies are accompanied by neck and spine ones. Thus, very

complete sections on head & neck and spine emergencies are
also included.
There is no question that this book will be frequently used
in the emergency department, where it belongs – but it should
also remind many of us as why we embark on Neuroradiology:
it is fun. An expert perusing this book will find its illustrations
beautiful and enjoyable, and will still be able to learn something
from it.
