Musculoskeletal MRI

Covering the entire musculoskeletal system, and all conditions - both common and rare - Musculoskeletal MRI is an extensive yet accessible guide for use in the clinical setting. Heavily illustrated with high quality images, the information is presented in an easy to digest bullet-point format, providing the radiologist with all the information required to make an informed diagnosis. The book is divided by body part (shoulder, knee, spine etc.), and each chapter begins with a section on technical considerations. The body part is then subdivided into smaller areas, and descriptions and pictures of the normal anatomy are provided. These are each followed by a comprehensive, illustrated listing of the various pathologies for each area. The text is supplemented by an invaluable differential diagnosis listing, and is further enhanced by very thorough referencing. Comprehensive and user-friendly in its approach, Musculoskeletal MRI will provide every radiologist, both consultant and trainee, with increased confidence in their reporting. Bulleted, list-style text provides the essential information at a glance. High quality MRI images sized sensibly to allow the reader to clearly see the pathology. Comprehensive and balanced content; even the rarest pathologies are described so the reader can find everything they want in this one volume. Includes valuable detail on the normal anatomy and appearances, to give a reference point.
