The second edition of Bone and Joint Disorders, derived from the critically acclaimed series Differential Diagnosis in Conventional Radiology, provides the essential information you need to make the conventional x-ray an effective tool in diagnosing disorders affecting the bones and joints.
The book is organized according to classes of radiologic findings, with separate chapters addressing the differential diagnosis of osteopenia, osteosclerosis, trauma and fractures, arthritis, and tumors, as well as the differential diagnosis of lesions specific to anatomic sites. Concise but comprehensive tables outline key information about findings and etiology, and provide additional commentary on pertinent clinical data, such as common locations, frequency, and prevalence of the described disease or disorder.
Highlights:
Organizes information according to classes of radiologic findings, mirroring the situation encountered in clinical practice
Uses easy-to-reference tables that classify findings, correlate differential diagnoses, and provide key adjunct clinical information to help in confirm the diagnosis
Includes more than 1,000 images and illustrations that are captioned by succinct descriptions, pinpointing key characteristics of disorders
Features completely rewritten chapters, "Localized Bone Lesions" and "Joint Diseases," with all new radiographs, and a greatly expanded chapter, "Trauma and Fractures," with many new and improved radiographs and schematic diagrams
Authoritative and comprehensive, Bone and Joint Disorders is an outstanding professional reference for the radiologist who must develop diagnoses and differential diagnoses of bone and joint disorders. This book is also of interest to residents preparing for their specialist examinations.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The text clearly reaches its target audience--someone rather new to the field, but practicing a dedicated musculoskeletal academic center--in an apropos fashion. Every radiologist can generate a laundry list of entities; however, in the table format of this text, one can easily decide which of the entities remain a diagnostic possibility and which do not. The entities are easy to evaluate with the table listing the radiographic findings and then with a comment section often focusing on pertinent clinical information or differential criteria. The vast number of pictures truly facilitates in bringing the large spectrum of entities that are discussed from the world of abstraction and esotericism into reality. This book has a clear goal in mind and accomplishes it with great fervor. For the practicing radiologist, it gives an exhaustive list to expand one's differential diagnosis while, at the same time, helping to rapidly narrow a differential diagnosis into a useful number of entities. ..For someone preparing for examinations, this textbook would be an immeasurable tool in conveying that one has not just memorized a laundry list but has truly grasped the manifestations of multiple entities that frequently confound and perplex.--Clinical Imaging
