Book Description

This text aims to provide a single-volume comprehensive guide to common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for musculoskeletal imaging. It contains information on the most commonly-performed procedures in musculoskeletal radiology and describes new procedures. Topics covered include fluoroscopically-guided sacroiliac joint aspiration, and detailed descriptions of percutaneous biopsies, myelography, discography, facet and nerve root blocks and epidurals. These procedures and their indications are also evaluated and revised in the light of advances in technology, such as the inclusion of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal abnormalities.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing summary of an important topic., March 29, 1999

This review is from: Musculoskeletal Imaging: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures (Vademecum) (Spiral-bound)

This book has set out to educate residents in the performance of simple bone procedures, however, it failed to achieve its goal. Many of the topics covered are also somewhat out of date given the use of MRI. I do not recommend this book for the education of residents.

4.0 out of 5 stars A practical giude for MSK imaging and intervention ., November 24, 1998

This review is from: Musculoskeletal Imaging: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures (Vademecum) (Spiral-bound)

This is a simple demonstration of the commonly requested emergency and routine interventions done in musculoskeletal radiology.I have not come across a book that cover the interventional musculoskeletal procedures as good and consize as this book. I think the auther made a great effort to put the information in well designed fashion that suits the need of the radiology residents and fellows.there are also many illustrative diagrams that clarify the discription.I recommend this book for all radoilogy residents .
