Atlas of Normal Roentgen Variants That May Simulate Disease 6/e, is an atlas of normal anatomic variants, pseudo lesions of the skeleton and the soft tissues which may be mistaken for disease. Key literature references are provided for many of the anatomic variants of bone and soft tissue in order to supply the reader with further sources of information. Radiographs are also correlated with MRI and CT images to help explain the nature of the anatomic variations and similar variations in patterns of growth in different parts of the skeleton are correlated to provide a broader base of knowledge of the nature of growth phenomena.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable radiographic reference!, September 19, 1999

This review is from: Atlas of Normal Roentgen Variants That May Simulate Disease (Hardcover)

Although the title of this book sounds extremely dry, unapproachable, and cumbersome, this book is a well-organized compilation of every type of unusual looking radiograph for every part of the human body. In my job as an Army physical therapist, I commonly have to screen plain radiographs. This reference has been invaluable to myself and others that work in my clinic, especially when evaluating foot and ankle films. There are several (more than a dozen) accessory bones that may be present, and these are all very well mapped out, each with a radiographic example, explanation, and key points to consider when evaluating each specific view. Excellent reference text!!
