A1 - Harisinghani, Mukesh Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Acute Care Surgery: Imaging Essentials for Rapid Diagnosis AB - Acutely ill patients often require urgent surgical interventions preceded by a STAT imaging study. In such scenarios, a surgeon must integrate the gathered clinical information with study results and make timely treatment decisions. In a recent query of surgeons, 75% reported frequent reliance on their own imaging interpretation to guide patient care in acute situations or instances in which radiologists were unavailable for consultation. (Butler, unpublished data) A surgeon's ability to translate radiologic findings to the bedside and operating room in an efficient and confident manner can influence patient treatment outcomes.
