Welcome to the first handbook of CT brain interpretation. Focus has been placed on including a greater number of images than would normally be found in a book of this size. The resolution has been heightened and the accompanying text limited to precise details, in order to achieve our goal: that is to equip a wide variety of medical professionals with a general understanding of head CT. A schema is provided by which to analyse the images, in order to develop greater confidence to diagnose the most common and critical problems. It is hoped that this book will be invaluable to individuals who find themselves, more and more, in the acute decision-making setting. This includes Emergency Physicians, Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Trauma or Orthopaedic Surgeons, Radiographers and Elderly Care physicians. It is also intended to be instructive to radiology trainees and medical students alike. All choice topics are included, thus lending itself as an excellent revision aid for anyone preparing for a postgraduate exam. Small enough to carry around, we hope we have provided a reliable reference for what you need to remember, regardless of the time of day or night.
