A practical reference on nuclear imaging in sports medicine with an anatomical approach, this book is structured and presented to be a practical, quick reference for physicians to use when treating sports injuries.

Imaging plays an increasingly vital role in the management of athletes aiding diagnosis, injury grading and prognosis, as well as guiding therapy. These processes apply equally to elite and recreational athletes young and old. I have always found that understanding the relevance of imaging fndings is easier when accompanied by knowledge of the anatomy, biomechanics and pathological processes involved in injury formation. This textbook has been developed with both radiologists and sports cli- cians in mind and aims to bring all these processes together and illustrate the spectrum of injury and associated clinical features for specifc anatomical areas. Internationally recognized musculoskeletal experts have contributed chapters which provide an imaging and clinical overview of the most relevant joint, bone and soft tissue athletic injuries. There is guidance for the reader on why specifc injuries occur, how to identify the optimal imaging evaluation and how to interpret the subsequent imaging fndings. Acute and overuse injuries are discussed as well as the premature degenerative processes that occur in athletes. State-of-the-art imaging techniques and fndings are presented including the use of muscu- skeletal ultrasound, conventional MR imaging and MR arthrography. Therapeutic ima- guided intervention using fuoroscopy, CT, and ultrasound is also discussed. This balance of techniques should allow a clinician whose practice focuses on one particular modality to become aware not only of that technique’s abilities but other modalities and their capabilities and limitations.

Ultrasound Guided Musculoskeletal Procedures in Sports Medicine: A Practical Atlas provides the support practitioners need based on practical, first-hand experience of a Sports and Exercise Medicine Physician who trained in musculoskeletal sonography. Over the years, and with much practice, the lessons learned and techniques developed are summarized with relevant pictures that guide those undertaking the procedure. As musculoskeletal ultrasound forms an important tool for physicians working in this field of medicine, this book helps physicians provide increasing expectation for patients who want a safe, guided procedure when clinically warranted. While an understanding of ultrasound imaging is essential prior to ultrasound guided procedures, there are few practical guides that provide practicing clinicians with a quick reference when faced with a procedure. This book fills that void. - Presents a standardized resource on ultrasound procedures, including how to position patients and what equipment is required - Includes straightforward injections, hydrodilatations, tendon stripping and facet/nerve injections - Provides images throughout the text to complement and guide the reader

The latest addition to the popular Teaching Atlas series, Teaching Atlas of Musculoskeletal Imagingprovides a complete overview of the most common manifestations of musculoskeletal disorders as well as the most important rare diseases. Internationally recognized authors guide the reader through multi-modality imaging approaches for 130 problems, which are grouped according to broad categories, including internal joint derangement, tumors, infection, avascular bone, trauma, arthritis, and prostheses. Each case provides concise descriptions of the presenting signs, radiologic findings, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis. Up-to-date information on musculoskeletal pathology and the current management strategies, including the latest interventional radiology techniques, make this atlas an outstanding reference for daily practice.Highlights:-Essential information on the use of radiography, ultrasound, CT, and MRI enables clinicians to select the best combination of multiple imaging modalities for each case-Bullet-point lists of Pearls and Pitfalls guide readers through diagnosis and help them avoid errors in image interpretation-900 images demonstrate key aspects of common and rare disease manifestations, providing an invaluable cross-reference tool for clinicians managing live casesIdeal for rapid reference and review, this atlas is an invaluable resource for clinicians and residents in radiology, orthopedics, interventional musculoskeletal radiology, as well as those in musculoskeletal pathology, rheumatology, and sports medicine.

Now in two volumes, the Third Edition of this standard-setting work is a state-of-the-art pictorial reference on orthopaedic magnetic resonance imaging. It combines 9,750 images and full-color illustrations, including gross anatomic dissections, line art, arthroscopic photographs, and three-dimensional imaging techniques and final renderings. Many MR images have been replaced in the Third Edition, and have even greater clarity, contrast, and precision.
