Orthopedic imaging

Geared to the needs of orthopedists and residents in orthopedics, as well as radiologists and radiologists in training, this volume is designed to facilitate the complex process of diagnostic investigation in orthopedic disorders. It provides a basic understanding of current imaging modalities, compares their diagnostic utility for all orthopedic disorders seen in practice, and offers guidance in selecting appropriate and cost-effective imaging techniques in specific clinical situations. Filling the gap between the primers and teaching file collections and the encyclopedic reference sources, this second edition includes complete information on MRI; an updated trauma section, with many new illustrations; expanded coverage of the arthritides; and discussions of key histopathologic findings in musculoskeletal tumors.
