Containing the latest information and based on the color atlas of the same name, An Atlas of Back Pain on CD-ROM not only explains how to determine the underlying causes of patients' conditions but also describes the various treatment options available. Written by a team of highly regarded scientists with vast experience of the subject, it provides an easily accessible guide to all aspects of back pain and its differential diagnosis.
Richly illustrated, the work contains more than 130 X-rays, CT scans, MRI images, and color pictures of both pathology and surgery. The expertly described techniques and procedures combined with the exceptional illustrations enhance the CD-ROM's value as a resource for teaching, residency training, and clinical practice. The CD contains the complete text and illustrations from the book and presents them in an easily searchable format and downloadable into PowerPoint. These features combine to make this an authoritative and easy to use resource for diagnosing this often overlooked disease.
