Product Description
Product Description
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 All conventional tomography has been replaced by CT.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.

Of all the books of this category this has been the most useful for me. The reason for that is simply that the attention to detail is ideal for anyone hoping to learn about a specific bony region. So for example, let's say you need to learn all there is to know about the cervical spine and the imaging of it. The spine will be divided in this book into three areas, cervical, thoracic and lumbar and then sub-divided into topics for each level of the spine. So, for the cervical spine you can look at the bony anatomy (labelled and illustrated with different types of images), you can look at the mechanisms of injury to the area, the modalities available for imaging of the area, the pro's and cons for each modality and so on. What was particularly useful for me was the description and images of how to position the patient for standard x-ray. This book lists each potential position and why to and why not to use it.
It covers all orthopedic problems and gives you some guidance on selecting cost-effective imaging techniques. I really think that this is beneficial for anyone (students through to qualified workers). The range of information is suitable for anyone of any level of knowledge - invest it this one!

A good book, lots of pictures. Explains many radiological findings and measures that no one else is going to tell you.

Essential for the bookshelf for any musculoskeletal Radiologist or Radiographer. Expensive yes, but a worthwhile investment. You will not regret purchasing this text.
