Download or read book Imaging and Labelling Techniques in the Critically Ill written by Wolfgang Kox and published by Springer. This book was released on 1988 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume in the series brings together a number of leading authorities to relate specific techniques to their applications in the critically ill patient. Of the five sections in the book, four are concerned with the imaging of anatomical systems, while the fifth introduces techniques applicable to all organ systems and techniques which are at present used in a research context but may have a place as diagnostic tools in the critically ill in the near future. Each section begins with a description of methods which can be used in the intensive care unit itself as a bedside procedure. The book will assist the intensivist in weighing up the potential hazards and benefits of transporting patients to scanners, and give the investigating radiologist a rationale for carrying out these techniques in the critically ill.
