Musculoskeletal Imaging Volume 2 summarizes the key information related to metabolic, infectious and congenital diseases; internal derangement of the joints; and arthrography and ultrasound. Succinct, structured overviews of each pathology are ideal for use by radiology residents during their musculoskeletal rotations and for residents, fellows, and practicing radiologists for board exam preparation or for daily clinical reference.

Musculoskeletal Imaging, Third Edition, features almost 400 cases drawn from the teaching files of leading medical centers. These practical cases encompass all imaging modalities--including radiography, CT, MR, nuclear medicine, and sonography--as well as all categories of musculoskeletal disease, including trauma, tumors, joint disease, endocrine, metabolic bone disease, and more. Organized by anatomic region, each case follows a consistent format and is presented as an unknown diagnosis with brief clinical history, images, description of findings, differentials, diagnosis, and discussion of care. This format simulates the experience of working through a case with an expert consultant, making Musculoskeletal Imaging an ideal resource for sharpening diagnostic skills for those preparing for board examinations or for reinforcing practical knowledge.

Musculoskeletal Imaging: A Core Review will consist of approximately 300 musculoskeletal radiology questions, in the format similar to the core exam. High quality radiographs, CT, MRI, and ultrasound images will be included. Answers to the questions will be discussed in a concise manner with explanations for why a particular answer choice is correct and the remaining answer choices are incorrect. Literature references will be provided for each answer explanation, so a reader will know where to go for further reading on the subject. This will be the first review book available to radiology residents preparing for the new core exam. Key Features 1st MSK review book geared to prep for the new ABR exam 300 Questions Answers to the questions discussed in a concise manner with explanations for why a particular answer choice is correct and the remaining answer choices are incorrect High quality radiographs, CT, MRI, and ultrasound images included

The book that set the standard for the role of correlating imaging findings to clinical findings as part of a comprehensive patient evaluation, more specific treatment plans and better outcomes is back in a New Edition. Here’s everything Physical Therapists need to know about medical imaging. This comprehensive guide helps you develop the skills and knowledge you need to accurately interpret imaging studies and understand written reports. Begin with a basic introduction to radiology; then progress to evaluating radiographs and advanced imaging from head to toe. Imaging for commonly seen traumas and pathologies, as well as case studies prepare you to meet the most common to most complex challenges in clinical and practice.

After introductory chapters on basic radiology, a chapter on how to evaluate radiographs and chapters on advanced medical imaging, the text is organized by anatomic regions and then by joints. At the heart of each anatomic chapter is a complete set of normal, routine radiographs that include tracings and point-by-point teaching observations. Each chapter ends with a discussion and offers imaging examples for commonly seen traumas and pathologies.

Elsevier's 'Problem Solving in Radiology' series offers an instructional approach to common imaging questions. In this musculoskeletal volume, readers will find guidance on how to accurately read what they see and how to perform common office procedures, including arthrography and biopsy.

This concise, practical resource covers all of today's need-to-know information in musculoskeletal imaging - in an exceptionally user-friendly format. This new volume in the Requisites Series is compact, clinically oriented, and easy to read - making it an ideal study tool as well as a convenient reference for practice. Delivers more than 750 outstanding illustrations that demonstrate a full range of musculoskeletal imaging approaches and findings. Offers numerous outlines, tables, "pearls," and boxed material for easy reading and reference. Presents new coverage of multi-slice CT, MRI and Ultrasound to keep you on the cutting edge in radiology. Updates and replaces more than 200 images from previous editions to stay completely current. Includes new Chapters on: Imaging of soft tissues: the basics "G Radiographic anatomy "G Bone marrow imaging, "G Bone Biopsy. Discusses more throroughly: basic approach to tumor and arthritis imaging "G numerous common and rare musculoskeletal conditions. Enhances ease of use with reorganization of chapters into 9 sections, making it easier to find information.

Diseases of the joints and surrounding tissues cannot be visualised without the help of imaging techniques. These range from x-rays (which have been available for over 100 years) to the highly sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging scanning. The variety of imaging techniques and indeed the quality of these images has improved radically in the past decade and this book attempts to capture the way in which rheumatologists and their colleagues can use a wide variety of techniques to analyse musculoskeletal diseases which are known to exist. This handbook provides the reader with an insight into both which imaging techniques should be applied to particular clinical problems and how the results can be used to determine the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions. It is extensively illustrated with examples of the various imaging techniques and joints to aid understanding, and is organised by anatomical region and specific musculoskeletal disorder to allow easy access to information.

Addresses the fundamental principles and techniques of general diagnostic and advanced musculoskeletal imaging. This book focuses on the conditions and procedures most often encountered in real-world practice, such as: Upper and lower extremity trauma; axial skeletal trauma; arthritis and infection; tumors; and metabolic bone diseases.

In its fully revised and updated second edition, Musculoskeletal Imaging covers every aspect of musculoskeletal radiology. This medical reference book incorporates the latest diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques, as well as must-read topics such as hip, groin and cartilage imaging; newly described impingements; and new concepts in the hip including teres ligament pathology. Accessibility in print, online and across portable devices makes Musculoskeletal Imaging a fully searchable and dependable source for both reading and reference. This publication is a key title in the popular Expert Radiology Series, which delivers evidence-based expert guidance from around the globe.
