Book description
Due to the multitude of bone and joint disorders and their symptomatic
similarities, establishing a differential diagnosis is often problematic
in daily practice. This book offers invaluable help by showing the
diagnostic effectiveness of multimodality imaging across the entire
spectrum of bone and joint disorders. Each clinical entity is presented
as a unit, with succinct text on the left and high-quality, labeled
images on the right. A consistent structure featuring pathology,
clinical findings, radiology, nuclear medicine, MRI, and differential
diagnosis offers quick access to the information you need for any given
bone, joint, or soft tissue disease. More than 1,300 high-quality
radiologic images and two-color drawings that allow you to visualize
each disorder. Key information presented in just 404 pages, saving you
the time and inconvenience of wading through large texts. Useful tables
summarizing radiologic findings for each disorder. All-inclusive
coverage, with in-depth treatment of such important areas as trauma.
