title: Emergency medicine radiology: a new challenge in radiology.

Emergency physicians are developing specific diagnostic work-ups and therapies for emergency conditions and exploring specific management of the department, attesting of a growing interest in emergency medicine radiology. In this article we give a survey of the history of emergency medicine radiology and we discuss this rather young subdiscipline of radiology.
