Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"This book is intended as a comprehensive review of focal anatomy and pathologic abnormalities of the shoulder. ... The text conveys a rather comprehensive review in a clear, succinct manner. ... This text does an excellent job of meeting the needs of various groups that differ in radiologic skill level. a ] I think this text would be particularly useful for clinicians in practice, radiologist in practice a ] and senior residents or fellows with a penchant for musculoskeletal radiology." (Eric A. Bogner, Radiology, April, 2005)

"Imaging of the Shoulder is another in the series of musculoskeletal imaging topics published by Springer and, in common with the others, it is produced to a very high standard with generally excellent quality images throughout. The authorship comprises a selection of well-known British, European and North American musculoskeletal radiologists. a ] the book provides a sound overview of the shoulder imaging." (Dr A Saifuddin, RAD Magazine, September, 2004)

"This is the 3rd volume of a series from AM Davies et al on musculoskeletal imaging aimed at specific anatomical areas. a ] the text is thorough, well referenced and readable. Each chapter is well organised with appropriate headings and subheadings and is illustrated with a range of good quality images. a ] Overall, this book provides an excellent synopsis of shoulder imaging and should provide a good reference text for musculoskeletal radiologists, rheumatologists and orthopaedic surgeons with an interest in the shoulder." (Dr Justin C Lee, Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine, Vol. 26 (2), 2004)

"This book covers the whole spectrum of radiological diagnostic tools regardingshoulder pathology. a ] Each technique is reviewed in details, indications, specific interest and limits are addressed in great depth and with abundant references. a ] The authora (TM)s experience also enhances the quality of the descriptions. Numerous illustrated and well commented examples clarify the explanations. This book is an excellent working tool for orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and any other physician interested in shoulder pathology. It is to be recommended to every orthopaedic library." (E. Partoune, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol. 70 (3), 2004)

"This book on the imagery of the shoulder makes it possible to discover most recent advances in shoulder lesions. a ] The use of the various techniques a ] is also extremely interesting. a ] In short, this is a book for all surgeons involved in the regulation and reading of their examinations." (Alain G. Graftiaux, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, Vol. 15 (1), 2005)

"As part of the series Medical Radiology, this book is another volume on musculoskeletal imaging. It comprehensively covers imaging modalities and the application of all these techniques for the evaluation of the shoulder. a ] All chapters are highlighted by well-described images. In summary, this is a very useful book, which supports radiologists in planning and interpreting imaging studies of the shoulder. It can be recommended to radiologists as well as to orthopaedic and trauma surgeons." (T. J. Vogl, European Radiology, Vol. 16, 2006) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
