Synopsis

Featuring over 4,000 large-size illustrations and unique, effective pedagogy, the fifth edition of Dr. Greenspan's best-seller is the ideal teaching text on musculoskeletal imaging for radiologists and orthopedists at every level of training. "Orthopedic Imaging: A Practical Approach" covers all orthopedic problems and imaging modalities and offers indispensable guidance on selecting cost-effective imaging techniques. The fifth edition has a new full-color design, with colorized tables and schematics and full-color illustrations including PET-CT. All conventional tomography has been replaced by CT. Coverage of MRI - the scan of choice for more clinical situations than ever - has been greatly expanded, especially in areas related to arthritis. More three-dimensional CT scans have been added, particularly to areas covering trauma. Musculoskeletal ultrasound coverage has been increased. Practical Points to Remember appear at the end of each chapter to outline salient points. A companion website will offer the fully searchable text and images.
