Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review

"Compared to other musculoskeletal case review books (Musculoskeletal Imaging: Case Review, 2nd edition, Yu (Elsevier, 2008); Teaching Atlas of Musculoskeletal Imaging, Munk and Ryan Thieme, 2008); and Musculoskeletal Imaging: Direct Diagnosis in Radiology, Reiser et al. (Thieme, 2008)), this one has the most cases, is the most current, and features high quality images. Overall, it is a great resource for radiologists in all stages of their careers -- radiology residents, fellows, and staff. The 20 percent new cases, the updated, better quality images, and the access to the fully searchable online version are a few of the many reasons to own this new edition."
