Foreword

In the first few months of radiology training, mastery of emergency radiology topics remains the major focus of training for new residents. In order to competently handle their on-call duties, beginning residents are expected to excel in diagnosis of life-threatening conditions.

The paucity of a well-organized study resource to address such selective preparation represents an additional challenge. The excellent emergency radiology book by Harris has become outdated, appropriate to be used as an introductory, rather than a comprehensive resource. The frequently-advised “fundamentals of radiology” book by Brant & Helms is more of a review book and a “round rescue” rather than an emergency radiology walkthrough. The newly published textbook of “emergency radiology” from Diagnostic Imaging series is a valuable and comprehensive resource, but remains in bullet format of a review book. It was in the face of this void that we decided to prepare this document.

The first step was to put in order a comprehensive list of emergency radiology topics, which was adopted from the ASER Core Curriculum in Emergency Radiology at http://www.aseronline.org/curriculum/toc.htm. Topic-specific articles were then chosen through PubMed searches. Only articles with large numbers of representative pictures from major radiology journals were chosen, with preference given to educational exhibits. The last section, “Foreign Bodies, Lines and Devices”, is added to serve as an on-call reference.

We have tried to make this document as comprehensive as possible. Some topics are explored to a greater extent in the literature, hence the multiplicity of suggested articles in those areas. Although it was tempting to devise some kind of importance rank-order, either among different topics or for articles on the same topic, this would have not been more than arbitrary. We will leave this to the taste and preferences of the users. Also, due to the large number of the articles and time restraints, not all articles have been reviewed in depth. A few articles might lack the expected strength or content, but are included for comprehensiveness.

I acknowledge and value the contribution of my friend and fellow resident, Dr. S. Bin Khamis, in preparation of the first draft of this collection in July 2006.
