The classic text in a revised and expanded fifth edition! Is a radiological finding normal or pathologic? This "borderline" between the two states presents a daunting challenge to radiologists and orthopedic surgeons on a daily basis.

Redesigned for optimal use, the book is organized according to diagnostic questions raised by clinical findings, radiographic findings, or both. You'll find all possible variants in five pathologic categories: anomaly; trauma; necrosis; inflammation; and tumor. The book provides imaging examples of the entire body, from the skull base, shoulder, and clavicle, to lower spine, knees, and the feet. More than 4,200 high-quality illustrations give clear examples of potential findings. Key features of this historic text: Illustrated with more than 4,200 outstanding drawings, photographs, and radiographs--nearly 4 per page! Full coverage of pathologic conditions in their fully developed form, Exhaustive analysis of borderline findings for both pediatric and adult cases Valuable guidelines on integrating pathologic conditions with CT and MRI findings This book is the encyclopedic resource that will expand your knowledge of findings in skeletal radiology and enhance your diagnostic skills.

About this title

Product Description

Still normal, or already pathologic? Every radiologist, surgeon, and orthopaedic surgeon are confronted with this question on a daily basis, indeed it accompanies them for their professional life. For more than 90 years, "Koehler/Zimmer" has been the reference for differentiating borderline findings. This standard work in diagnostic radiology is now in it's fifth edition, and has been restructured and expanded to include: more than 4200 images; concentration on borderline findings between normal and pathologic; integration of appropriate CT and MR Imaging findings; and structuring of all possible changes in five pathologic categories: dysplasia, trauma, necroses, inflammation, and tumour. This work should help the radiologist to increase his or her certainty and confidence in describing findings in skeletal radiology, and in arriving at appropriate diagnosis.
