Featuring over 4,000 large-size illustrations and unique, effective pedagogy, the Fifth Edition of Dr. Greenspan's best-seller is the ideal teaching text on musculoskeletal imaging for radiologists and orthopedists at every level of training. Orthopedic Imaging: A Practical Approach covers all orthopedic problems and imaging modalities and offers indispensable guidance on selecting cost-effective imaging techniques. The Fifth Edition has a new full-color design, with colorized tables and schematics and full-color illustrations including PET-CT. All conventional tomography has been replaced by CT. Coverage of MRI—the scan of choice for more clinical situations than ever—has been greatly expanded, especially in areas related to arthritis. More three-dimensional CT scans have been added, particularly to areas covering trauma. Musculoskeletal ultrasound coverage has been increased. Practical Points to Remember appear at the end of each chapter to outline salient points. A companion website will offer the fully searchable text and images.

There is an ever-expanding range of implants used in Orthopaedic Surgery. Nearly 200,000 joint replacement procedures are done in UK every year. The performance of these implants is assessed on radiographs. This is of interest to Orthopaedic surgeons and Radiologists alike. Information on interpretation of these radiographs is not readily available in an easily readable format. This book will assist both trainees and practicing orthopedic surgeons and radiologists in assessing the radiologic appearance of implants and their potential for future performance.

Revised and updated, this second edition interfaces clinical radiology with orthopaedics to show how to evaluate disorders in children. Clear illustrations show not only advanced, easily recognizable findings, but also the subtleties of early disease.

This guide was created to help anyone interested in or new to the Orthopedic field. Most Radiology books are technical with few pictures and quite frankly tedious to read when you need to know how to shoot the image "now". This quick refence guide includes the most widely used positioning for daily use, if it were to include every possible position it would be large, cumbersome and not what I was trying to create for my fellow x-ray technologists I was not lucky enough to have something like this to help me learn what the Doctors were looking for. I can only hope this guide eases the transition into the world of orthopedics.

This uniquely interdisciplinary book is a practical resource on orthopedic MR imaging that bridges the backgrounds of radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. Radiologists learn why surgeons order imaging studies. They also learn terminology that will help them tailor reports to the specialty. Orthopedic surgeons gain insight on when to order an MRI, how MRI affects decision making, and how to interpret images. Case studies also depict key clinical and exam points, supplemented by MR images and illustrations. Shorter sections highlight other anatomical areas, and additional chapters address diagnostic accuracy and imaging pitfalls.

This thousand-page text contains over 550 color illustration plates and over 1000 radiographic images. Each radiographic diagnosis is discussed in outline format with thumbnail images of other differential considerations. While the unique correlative color illustrations for each diagnosis allow the reader to better understand anatomy and mechanism of disease, the concise yet complete format of the textbook allows for quick reference in the clinical setting.
