Book description
Organized by findings to reflect how radiologists really work, this
abundantly illustrated book offers more than 2,000 magnetic resonance
images depicting commonly seen congenital and acquired disorders, as
well as many rare and unusual cases. Along with the radiographic
findings, you will enjoy brief tabular summaries of essential
demographic, pathologic, and clinical features of each disease. The book
is divided into anatomical sections, including: the brain; head and
neck; spine; musculoskeletal system; chest; abdomen; and pelvis. All
diseases and findings are cross-referenced, providing quick access to
desired information. Special features:Chapters arranged by anatomic
location instead of by disease - mirroring the approach you apply in
daily practiceHundreds of tables listing pathological features to assist
in the diagnostic processDetailed descriptions allow you to
differentiate between diseases and conditions that have similar
appearancesMore than 2,000 state-of-the-art images, along with detailed
diagrams and charts, give helpful examples of actual findings Extensive
cross-referencing of information leads you to further resourcesHere is
the quintessential guide to magnetic resonance imaging that radiologists
and other physicians need to enhance their diagnostic skills. Residents
and fellows will use it as an invaluable board preparation tool. Keep
this practical text close at hand. "An encyclopedia of MR imaging
of the head, body, and extremities...describes all of the abnormalities
demonstratable by MR imaging...informative, well-written and
organized...image quality is outstanding...highly recommended to all
physicians, residents, and students..." --American Journal of
Roentgenology_x000D_ _x000D_ "Lists various differential diagnoses
according to anatomic location...easy-to-read format...chapters are well
organized and illustrated...most useful for those interested in seeing
the panoply of various diseases that can occur in a specific
location...recommended." --AuntMinnie. com_x000D_ _x000D_
"Contains the essential information for a comprehensive systematic
differential diagnosis of disease using MRI...more than 2,000
state-of-the-art images...helpful to radiologists involved in
interpreting MRI scans...should be kept close by in the work
environment." --RAD Magazine_x000D_ _x000D_ "This method of
indexing encourages usage because the information needed is easily
accessed. . . more importantly, all of these main sections include a
rather intensive overview of the anatomical region to which they
pertain. . . This type of book, particularly in this format, is an
essential addition to any practice or clinical setting. . . This book
provides an answer when you're not sure 'what the heck it could be' and
you cannot consult with your colleagues. . . highly recommend to
radiologists, fellows, medical students, and MRI technologists."
--ADVANCE for Imaging and Radiation Therapy Professionals_x000D_ _x000D_
"...is a useful text in approaching a different diagnosis based on
imaging findings rather than one argument on disease entities...all of
these are published by Thieme, which did an outstanding job in the
reproduction of the images and other illustrations and tables...A major
advantage of this book are the tables, which present the differential
diagnosis in tabular form, also helpful in the use of other modalities.
I believe that this book will be extremely useful not only to radiology
residents, but also for radiologists looking for a review of the
differential diagnosis of disease as they present on MRI."
