Book Description

Publication Date: December 1994 | ISBN-10: 0387568573 | ISBN-13: 978-0387568577

The third edition of Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases has been comprehensively rewritten and rearranged. It now encompasses, in addition to the bone and joint diseases described in the two earlier editions, hitherto unpublished novel applications of pinhole scanning to the diagnosis of a broader spectrum of skeletal disorders than ever before, including those of the soft tissues. A large number of state-of-the-art scans and corroboratory radiograms obtained using CT, MRI and/or sonography are presented side by side. The book has been considerably expanded to discuss five new themes: Normal Variants and Artifacts, Drug-Induced Osteoporosis, Soft-Tissue Tumors and Tumor-like Conditions, PET/CT in Bone and Joint Diseases and A Genetic Consideration of Skeletal Disorders. Topical chapters on rheumatic skeletal disorders, malignant tumors of bone, benign tumors of bone and traumatic diseases have also been thoroughly rewritten and are complemented by the addition of some 90 recently acquired cases.

From the reviews of the third edition: "The excellent print quality of the images makes this a very valuable aid for anyone interested in the diagnosis of bone disease...I have no hesitation in recommending this book as a worthwhile text for any medical library." The Radiographer"The textbook has undergone extensive revision for the new edition and has been further enhanced by a new enlarged format. The result is a textbook of 538 pages with 692 figures, a considerable increase compared with the second edition . The index is also remarkably clear and comprehensive .
