Book Description

December 1, 2003 Diagnostic Imaging: Orthopaedics
Authored by one of the acknowledged leaders and preeminent teachers in musculoskeletal radiology, this innovative text is certain to become the new standard among orthopaedic diagnostic imaging references. The first volume in the new Diagnostic Imaging Series from Amirsys and Saunders, it features a templated, full-color format that makes finding information much easier. Each chapter presents all of the information readers need to pinpoint a diagnosis. Coverage of each entity addresses Clinical Presentation · Pathologic Features · Imaging Findings for the appropriate modalities · and Differential Diagnosis lists. In addition, each chapter has detailed anatomic drawings in full color, an extensive image case gallery, and a visual "thumbnail" differential diagnosis. Numerous surgical, gross and histologic pathology photographs are included. No other musculoskeletal imaging text is as comprehensive and user-friendly. The unique bulleted format provides efficient reading, with the same information in the same place-every time! It's as if an expert has done the highlighting for you!
  • Covers the top diagnoses in orthopaedics, including both common and uncommon entities.
  • Uses a concise, highly templated approach-similar to POCKETRADIOLOGIST®-but provides more details for each heading, more references, many more images, and more case data. You get twice the facts, and four times the images as other texts. There is no extra verbiage!
  • Offers a vivid, full-color design with over 500 color anatomy and pathology drawings.
  • Provides detailed coverage of key facts and differential diagnosis.
  • Includes an extensive image bank for each entity with common and variant cases
  • Displays a "thumbnail" visual differential diagnosis for each entity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diagnostic Imaging: Orthopaedics, August 16, 2004
This review is from: Diagnostic Imaging: Orthopaedics (Hardcover)
For MSK MRI, this is an excellent reference book. The computer-designed illustrations are helpful and the bullet-point outline form works well for MSK (I'm not so sure about other specialties). This is not a comprehensive book to cover the pathophysiology of bone disease and it is all MR modality. I use it to complement other texts such as Greenspan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Diagnostic Imaging: Orthopaedics, November 12, 2006
This review is from: Diagnostic Imaging: Orthopaedics (Hardcover)
Excellent color pictures/MRIs. Definitely not a beginner text- an advanced text. There is no guide to using the text. That would have been helpful. The pictures on the bottom of the page were almost too small to be of any good. For those of us who are not experts, it would have been nice to have some similar slices of normal anatomy next to the pathological anatomy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Musculoskeletal supplement., December 14, 2008
This review is from: Diagnostic Imaging: Orthopaedics (Hardcover)
This book is a great supplement for anyone interested in MRI of orthopedics. Good for practicing radiologists, MSK radiologists, orthopedic surgeons and radiology residents.

PRO:

1. The book is in an outline type format which makes finding what you need easier.

2. Wide variety of topics with differential diagnosis.

3. Excellent MRI pictures and color illustrations.

CON:

1. You need a primary textbook to go with this such as Resnick's Bone and Joint Imaging if you want in depth explanations. Kaplan's Musculoskeletal MRI is a better basic MRI book but much less comprehensive.

2. Expensive, but all medical books seem to be anyway.

Conclusion: Would strongly recommend this to anyone interested in Musculoskeletal MRI. Much better than other MSK books from Berquist or others.
