Pocket Tutor Emergency Imaging

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the go”, at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.  

Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate & foundation courses:

• Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc)
• Clinical skills (surface anatomy, patient examination, etc.)

• Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)
  
  

Key Points

• Highly affordable price and convenient pocket size format – fits in back pocket!

• Logical, sequential content: the first principles of emergency imaging, then a guide to understanding a normal image and the building blocks of an abnormal image, before describing specific clinical disorders

• Clinical disorders are illustrated by high quality radiographs, ultrasounds, CTs and MRIs,  with brief accompanying text that clearly identifies the defining feature of the image

• Focuses on the conditions that medical students and foundation doctors are most likely to see and be tested on
• Second edition features a new chapter on common emergency cases including chest pain and breathlessness, acute abdominal pain, sudden onset headache, and weight loss and jaundice

Previous edition (9781907816567) published in 2013.
