From Book News, Inc.
Covering the top diagnoses in orthopedics, including both common and uncommon entities, Stoller (director, California Advanced Imaging and MRI; director, National Orthopedic Imaging Associates) provides facts on the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders, illustrated by some 3,000 color anatomy and pathology drawings and b&w medical images. Sample images introduce each diagnosis, and other images demonstrate alternative diagnostic possibilities. Bulleted lists present terms, imaging findings, key points, and notes on differential diagnosis, pathology, and clinical issues. An image gallery for each diagnosis displays a variety of typical findings. The book will be useful for radiologists and radiology residents, orthopedic surgeons and residents, sports medicine specialists, and health science libraries.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
Authored by one of the acknowledged leaders and preeminent teachers in musculoskeletal radiology, this innovative text is certain to become the new standard among orthopaedic diagnostic imaging references. The first volume in the new Diagnostic Imaging Series from Amirsys and Saunders, it features a templated, full-color format that makes finding information much easier. Each chapter presents all of the information readers need to pinpoint a diagnosis. Coverage of each entity addresses Clinical Presentation, Pathologic Features, Imaging Findings for the appropriate modalities, and Differential Diagnosis lists. In addition, each chapter has detailed anatomic drawings in full color, an extensive image case gallery, and a visual "thumbnail" differential diagnosis. Numerous surgical, gross and histologic pathology photographs are included. No other musculoskeletal imaging text is as comprehensive and user-friendly.

Diagnostic Imaging: OrthopaedicsFor MSK MRI, this is an excellent reference book. The computer-designed illustrations are helpful and the bullet-point outline form works well for MSK (I'm not so sure about other specialties). This is not a comprehensive book to cover the pathophysiology of bone disease and it is all MR modality. I use it to complement other texts such as Greenspan. |
