Book description
This book presents radiology of the shoulder in a unique didactic
concept, with careful organization of material under headings, using
margin comments that summarize the most important information. The book
begins with a chapter on the basic anatomy of the shoulder joint, and
shows examples of various projections of standard radiographs, and what
these reveal. Arthrography, ultrasound, CT and MRI are included in all
parts of the book. Following this introductory chapter on image
technique and interpretation, the individual pathologic chapters cover
such topics as trauma, degenerative changes, tumors, inflammation and
more. A concise and clearly organized representation of contents in this
text allows quick orientation and assimilation of the most important
aspects of shoulder imaging. "The author has done a nice job of
presenting a vast array of information in a readily accessible
format...a useful addition to the library of an experienced radiologist
or clinician who wishes to remind him- or herself of the expected
findings of a particular lesion and the planned workup. It may also
prove useful to a resident studying for board examinations who wishes to
quickly synthesize a large amount of material. ...This text meets the
needs of its target audience quite well."--Radiology_x000D_ _x000D_
''Comprehensive...outstanding figures...Imaging Strategies of the
Shoulder is an excellent reference text for information regarding the
full spectrum of shoulder injury and pathology.'' -- Journal of
Orthopedic Sports Physical Therapy_x000D_ _x000D_ "Well laid out
and nicely illustrated." --RAD Magazine_x000D_ _x000D_ "The
book is both a clinical and imaging atlas of the normal and pathological
shoulder. Clear drawings and very good quality photographs explain the
different aspects in conventional radiology and the images obtained with
sonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In each
part, small synoptic tables deal with the goals of imaging and represent
very good guidelines. The goal of this book is achieved. The term
"strategies" in the book title has been well chosen. Shoulder
surgeons and rheumatologists will enjoy this book as a very useful tool,
but so will everyone concerned with should pain and diseases, and
especially students and practitioners."--Surgical and Radiologic
Anatomy Professor of Radiology, Head of Institute for Diagnostic
Imaging, Frankfurt/Oder, Germany
