MRI of the Musculoskeletal System, Sixth Edition, comprehensively presents all aspects of MR musculoskeletal imaging, including basic principles of interpretation, physics, and terminology before moving through a systematic presentation of disease states in each anatomic region of the body. Its well-deserved reputation can be attributed to its clarity, simplicity, and comprehensiveness. The Sixth Edition features many updates, including: New pulse sequences and artifacts in the basics chapters Over 3,000 high-quality images including new anatomy drawings and images FREE access to a companion web site featuring full text as well as an interactive anatomy quiz with matching labels of over 300 images.
Written by a pre-eminent educator in radiology, Musculoskeletal Imaging Companion, Second Edition is a practical quick-reference guide to the radiologic diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders. It presents nearly 1,400 large, clear images of common diseases, disorders, and injuries, accompanied by succinct, bulleted "key facts" about the clinical and imaging features of each condition. Chapters cover all anatomic regions and disease entities, imaging of orthopaedic appliances and prostheses, and detailed protocols for all current imaging modalities, now including PET. The book demonstrates the utility of multiple modalities in specific situations and recommends the best, most cost-effective approach. This updated edition includes over 200 new images and numerous new disorders.
MRI has become increasingly useful in defining subtle injuries of the hand and wrist (i.e. ligament and tendon injuries, nerve compression, bone lesions, arthritis) due to improved imaging techniques and new coil technology which permit visualisation of the most intricate anatomical structures. MRI of the Hand and Wrist is the first dedicated text to chronicle the tremendous technological advances and new applications that have occurred in this area over the past five years. The emphasis is on MR anatomy, techniques for performing MR studies, and utility for specific clinical problems. Features include: comparisons of MRI with CT, ultrasound, and other modalities where appropriate; discussion of common technical and anatomic pitfalls to help avoid errors in interpreting MR images; and specific applications organized by etiologies. FEATURES: AUTHORED BY ONE OF THE DISIPLINE'S TOP PRACTITIONERS. CLEARLY DEFINES MR ANATOMY using common MR pulse sequences, MR arthrography, and frequently used image planes. HELPS READERS AVOID ERRORS IN INTERPRETATION - Discussions on common technical and anatomic pitfalls make it easier to interpret images with accuracy and confidence. GUIDES WELL-INFO
In many cases, MRI is the last and decisive step in diagnostic imaging of the musculoskeletal system. The knowledge necessary to understand normal anatomy and pathological findings has increased exponentially in recent years. In 850 images, with many MR-images supported by explanatory color graphs, this book addresses this issue and the main problems the examining physician encounters, including - the description of all relevant techniques of MRI- suggestions for tabular protocols- the comprehensive presentation of normal sectional anatomy, - tables for differential diagnosis, and - description of state-of-the-art imaging methods.
Revised and updated for its Third Edition, this highly acclaimed volume is a definitive guide to the clinical imaging of foot and ankle disorders. The title of this edition has changed from Radiology of the Foot and Ankle to Imaging of the Foot and Ankle to reflect a greater emphasis on multimodality imaging approaches to solve diagnostic challenges, specifically the increased use of ultrasound, MR imaging, CT, and diagnostic interventional techniques. The book features increased coverage of ultrasound, PET, and the diabetic foot and upgraded MR and CT images. New syndromes such as impingement have been added to the chapter on soft tissue trauma and overuse. The fractures and dislocations chapter includes OTA classifications and additional MR and CT scans of complications. Other highlights include up-to-date information on new fixation devices and prostheses and state-of-the-art interventional and vascular techniques including use of MRA.
Understanding the indications, applications, and radiographic evaluation of orthopedic fixation devices, appliances, and joint prostheses is often a difficult task but an essential task for radiologists. They need to be familiar with the radiographic appearance, optimal positioning, potential complications of orthopedic applicances- basically any factor that affects the patient's status. This orthopedic primer will serve as a resource for identifying and understanding orthopedic appliances. It will be a condensed version of Berquist's Imaging Atlas of Orthopedic Appliances and Prostheses book which published in 1994.
Revised edition of Imaging of orthopedic trauma and surgery. A comprehensive text for radiologists, orthopedic surgeons and other clinicians, and residents in training who deal with trauma, updated to integrate new developments in orthopedic radiology. As in the first edition, the initial chapters discuss basic concepts in diagnostic imaging techniques, fracture healing, and soft tissue injury. The main body of the text addresses imaging in adult trauma, including evaluation of post-reduction treatment techniques. The chapters are anatomically oriented with a review of essential musculoskeletal anatomy followed by a discussion of routine radiographic techniques and special techniques as they relate to the specific anatomic region. The final chapters discuss stress fractures and infection related to post-traumatic injury, emphasizing imaging of these specific problems. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Revised, updated, and substantially expanded, the Second Edition of this highly acclaimed volume is a definitive guide to the clinical imaging of foot and ankle disorders. Experts from the Mayo Clinic emphasize MRI, describing the latest techniques, and offering state-of-the-art guidelines on the choice and use of other imaging procedures. Highlights include expanded coverage of trauma imaging, common pediatric procedures and disorders, overuse conditions, and miscellaneous syndromes. More than 1,600 illustrations complement the text.
MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease. Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists.
An up-to-date and comprehensive review of the discipline of imaging of the knee. The first part discusses the various techniques employed when imaging the knee. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography, computed tomography and CT arthrography, magnetic resonance imaging and MR arthrography, and ultrasonography. The second part then documents the application of these techniques to the diverse clinical problems and diseases encountered in the knee. Among the many topics addressed are: congenital and developmental abnormalities, trauma, meniscal pathology, and others. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field.
