Book description
The human knee, with its complex anatomy and frequent disorders,
undergoes radiologic examination more than any other joint. Imaging
Strategies for the Knee organizes all of the relevant information
clinicians need to help them reach a sound diagnosis, accurately and
efficiently. Features include:-More than 400 illustrations that show
vividly how to recognize and compare morphological details-Complete
coverage of all examination techniques including ultrasound, CT and
MRI-Clinical background information for every finding-An innovative
layout: three columns of text, additional information in the margins and
images provide essential information at a glance-Keywords and concise
text boxes in the margins on disease, pathology, clinical
manifestations, first-line examination methods, imaging requirements,
and treatment options-Helpful summaries at the end of each chapter to
facilitate rapid review-Comprehensive coverage of all disorders,
logically grouped according to disease classification An ideal
introduction for students and residents, Imaging Strategies for the Knee
is also a convenient, durable resource that radiologists, orthopedists,
and trauma surgeons will reach for again and again in their daily
practice. "This textbook appears to be addressed to mainly junior
residents in Radiology, but it should be emphasized that even more
radiologists would find in it practical information leading to the
proper examination of a problematic knee. Numerous and demonstrative
illustrations enrich the text, and Thieme should be complimented for
their quality. The "pearls" to be found along the margins on
the disease discussed will be appreciated, as well as the numerous text
boxes, which provide rapid condensed information. Those who enjoyed
reading "Imaging Strategies of the Shoulder," by the same
author and publisher, a book that this reviewer highly recommends, will
definitely appreciate this new textbook."--Clinical Imaging
