A Radiologic Atlas of Abuse, Torture, Terrorism, and Inflicted Trauma

by B. G. Brogdon, Hermann Vogel, John D. McDowell

Overview

The results of aggression against humans can be hideously obvious, but may also be entirely concealed from casual inspection. Often, only exploration of the hidden recesses of the mind via psychiatric evaluation, or radiologic exploration of the inner recesses of the body can reveal the evidence of such violence. This book focuses on the latter.

Editorial Reviews

"[A] timely reference … . .. The outstanding feature of this atlas is its astonishing collection of over 700 radiographs and photographs… . … A radiologic catalog of this magnitude could only be found in the possession of distinguished and accomplished practitioners, and the editors are acknowledged as being among the leaders in their respective fields. … CRC Press produces a handsome volume, and this is no exception. … [T]he quality of these images is remarkable. … [Includes] new chapters on torture and terrorism that are a valuable resource for practicing anthropologists who rely heavily on radiographic imaging in their work … . "

"This is a truly unique imaging atlas. The topic of mechanism of injury is not unique, but the manner of injuries covered in this atlas is and thus this book is without comparison."
