Book Description

Use this atlas to accurately interpret images of musculoskeletal disorders! Taylor, Hughes, and Resnick's Skeletal Imaging: Atlas of the Spine and Extremities, 2nd Edition covers each anatomic region separately, so common disorders are shown within the context of each region. This allows you to examine and compare images for a variety of different disorders. A separate chapter is devoted to each body region, with coverage of normal developmental anatomy, developmental anomalies and normal variations, and how to avoid a misdiagnosis by differentiating between disorders that appear to be similar. All of the most frequently encountered musculoskeletal conditions are included, from physical injuries to tumors to infectious diseases.

• Over 2,100 images include radiographs, radionuclide studies, CT scans, and MR images, illustrating pathologies and comparing them with other disorders in the same region.
• Organization by anatomic region addresses common afflictions for each region in separate chapters, so you can see how a particular region looks when affected by one condition as compared to its appearance with other conditions.
• Coverage of each body region includes normal developmental anatomy, fractures, deformities, dislocations, infections, hematologic disorders, and more.
• Normal Developmental Anatomy sections open each chapter, describing important developmental landmarks in various regions of the body from birth to skeletal maturity.
• Practical tables provide a quick reference to essential information, including normal developmental anatomic milestones, developmental anomalies, common presentations and symptoms of diseases, and much more.

• 400 new and replacement images are added to the book, showing a wider variety of pathologies.
• More MR imaging is added to each chapter.
• Up-to-date research includes the latest on scientific advances in imaging.
• References are completely updated with new information and evidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Trasure from the master of his craft., November 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Skeletal Imaging: Atlas of the Spine and Extremities (Hardcover)

This is an outstanding referece book for imaging professionals in the academic and private sector who wish to maintain a comprehensive overview of all skeletal structures and the supporting musculature at hand. The imaging planes selected directly correlate with the needs of the imaging professional and having combined both the spine and extremities in a single volume is indeed the most efficient and comprehensive way to satisfy the needs of the busy professional.

The sections included of normal variants and potential pitfalls is also very important in distinguishing this reference text from others in the marketplace.

I would recommend this text for those particularly involved in the interpretation of both the spine and extremity examinations as these are often kept separate at many academic institutions.

Conrgatualtions to the authors for their work.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best text of skeletal imaging that you can buy!, April 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Skeletal Imaging: Atlas of the Spine and Extremities (Hardcover)

This is the best text of skeletal imaging that you can buy. It is well organized, easy to use, full of excellent illustrations, and comprehensive. It is organized according to anatomic region making it easy to find what you are looking for without skipping all over the book. The first chapter consists of concise tables, which provide a complete overview of commonly encountered skeletal disorders. Throughout the rest of the book there are large clear illustrations of radiographs as well as correlating CT scans, MR images, and radionuclide studies. The descriptions of the disorders are right next to the illustrations giving a clear understanding of the findings. This atlas is an invaluable tool in interpretation of radiographs and diagnosis of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It's my favorite reference book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Book review of Atlas of Skeletal Imaging -, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Skeletal Imaging: Atlas of the Spine and Extremities (Hardcover)

This is a master piece as far as current radiology texts go. The beauty of the images and cases selected demonstrates much thought that has been put into this book and the result is a great reference and teaching guide aimed at residents, fellows and clinicians alike both in the medical and chiropractic professions. It is a wonderful fusion of fundamental concepts interspersed with some more complex challenging cases which use the relevant special imaging to demonstrate the full spectrum of modalities available nowadays.
The two authors have produced a great work which should be a very useful addition to many a library to be used both in everyday practice as well as a reference guide too.
