Product Description
MRI of the Upper Extremity is a complete guide to MRI evaluation of shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and finger disorders. This highly illustrated text/atlas presents a practical approach to MRI interpretation, emphasizing the clinical correlations of imaging findings. More than 1,100 MRI scans show normal anatomy and pathologic findings, and a full-color cadaveric atlas familiarizes readers with anatomic structures seen on MR images.

Coverage of each joint begins with a review of MRI anatomy with cadaveric correlation and proceeds to technical MR imaging considerations and clinical assessment. Subsequent chapters thoroughly describe and illustrate MRI findings for specific disorders, including rotator cuff disease, nerve entrapment syndromes, osteochondral bodies, and triangular fibrocartilage disorders.

Product Description
MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease. Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists. "Doody's Core Titles™ 2009."

Product Description
How often do you find yourself staring at a bone radiograph, or a patient with a contorted extremity, and you are unsure of exactly what you are seeing, or what the next step in management is? Then this book is made for you!

This book presents a case-by-case approach to bone trauma seen on plain film and will help you learn some of the most common and important cases. You will review relevant clinical information and radiographs before answering a set of questions regarding the findings, enabling you to test your clinical knowledge and skills, and identify any weak areas of knowledge. The subsequent answers are presented clearly and thoroughly, and explained with simple illustrations and X-rays. This is followed by a section on management which covers specific details to each case.

This book is ideally suited for those junior practitioners who deal with musculoskeletal trauma on a daily basis, such as those in the fields of emergency medicine, radiology, and orthopedic surgery. However, regardless, if you have an interest in musculoskeletal injuries, and would like to expand your knowledge on the basic interpretation and management of fractures, this book is a good start to that process, and will make you realize that it is less daunting than once thought.

Product Description
Proper ultrasound examination and interpretation hinges on thorough knowledge of the relevant anatomy, artifacts, and technique. This book provides an excellent foundation by going beyond pathology and concentrating on these fundamentals. Basic physics and artifact recognition and prevention are outlined. Chapters review essential anatomy and include images and tables that highlight relevant bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Sites of attachment and the best positions for examination are also noted. Technique is presented via a three-tiered approach and photographs of patients in the transducer position are matched with the resulting ultrasound images and complementary anatomical overlays. The accompanying DVD offers ultrasound technique as performed by experienced radiologists and clinicians. Procedures are detailed with a split screen showing the examination and the corresponding ultrasound image. The dynamic presentation is of value to those just learning the modality as well as physicians wanting to review anatomy and fine-tune their skills.
