Book description
Practical. In-depth. Invaluable. A guide to the diagnosis of tumors and
tumorlike lesions of bone and soft tissue using MRI. This unique
encyclopedic guide takes the same approach you apply in clinical
practice. It features fully illustrated differential diagnosis tables
organized according to MRI findings and the locations of tumors. An
in-depth reference section provides information on each lesion. In
addition, almost 3000 highquality images make this practical text an
invaluable tool in the diagnosis of common and rare tumors and other
disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Features:- 20 differential
diagnosis tables based on anatomic locations of lesions rather than
disease- Fully illustrated reference chapters containing concise,
detailed information for each lesionfrom relative frequency and age
ranges to MRI findings, treatment, and prognosis- Over 2900
state-of-the-art illustrations covering the wide range of imaging
features for various lesions- An exceptional level of detail, helping
you to differentiate between diseases and conditions that have similar
appearances- Extensive cross-referencing to further up-to-the minute
resources This is the definitive guide to MRI of musculoskeletal tumors.
Whether you need a practical guide for day-to-day use or a comprehensive
preparation tool for board examinations -- keep this text close to the
workstation. "This is a well-organized and easy-to-use reference
text. The atlas section excels, with a clear description of the
condition and its associated histopathologic, conventional radiographic,
computed tomographic, and MR imaging findings. This book successfully
meets its goals of providing an up-to-date reference for clinicians,
radiologists, and pathologists dealing with diagnostic bone and
soft-tissue tumor and tumorlike dilemmas. It is a useful companion to
standard musculoskeletal texts and will be helpful to general and
subspecialized radiologists in academic or private practice
settings."--Radiology (RSNA) "A remarkable achievement...can
serve as a reference source...a self-quiz...or it can be used as an
authoritative description of all lesions the neuroradiologist may
encounter...This is a well-written, attractive, perfectly formatted text
that belongs either in the personal library of practicing
neuroradiologists or, at the minimum, should be readily available in a
sectional or departmental library."--American Journal of
Neuroradiology "This collection of musculoskeletal tumors and
tumor-like conditions and their MRI appearances is as comprehensive as
one can expect... Many rare entities are explored and very few are
missing. The book is really two in one. Following a brief introduction,
two sections first "show" and then "tell" the MRI
world of musculoskeletal lesions... As a first edition, this volume is a
heroic task. Dr. Meyers' atlas is a wonderful addition because of the
depth and breadth of examples of MRI lesions covered in the book. The
quality of the MR images is quite good. Dr. Meyers gets high points for
indexing the lesions in this book: the index is superb. Now that I have
this book it will be near me in the reading room and be consulted often,
both for diagnostic and teaching purposes."--Douglas N. Mintz,
Clinical Imaging "This is an excellent, beautifully illustrated,
well-written, very well-organized text of MR bone and soft-tissue
tumors. The image quality is absolutely superb throughout the entire
text with 2,976 illustrations... The book is useful for learning MR
imaging features, studying for the boards, generating a differential
diagnosis, and referencing a particular entity. This book would be an
excellent resource for residents, fellows, radiologists, pathologists,
and orthopaedic surgeons. Any MR image reading room would benefit from a
copy of this book."--Academic Radiology "Conveniently
organized...extensive references to the literature...a practical
reference-style text...an excellent resource for the broader medical
community...the overall image quality is quite good...particularly
useful in a busy referral center...a useful
addition...recommend[ed]."--AJR "[Five stars] [An] image-rich
atlas...uniquely structured to facilitate rapid access to a wealth of
information...has absolutely no shortcomings...a high-quality book...a
wonderful resource for any practicing radiologist or radiologist in
training...highly recommend[ed]...without reservation. "--Doody's
Professor of Radiology and Neurosurgery, Imaging Sciences, and
Neurosurgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, New York, USA
