Orthopedic Radiology: A Practical Approach

By Adam Greenspan

Book Overview

Directed at the needs of orthopaedists and residents in orthopaedics, as well as radiologists and radiologists in training, this book aims to facilitate the complex process of diagnostic investigation. Clearly, systematically and logically, it strives to provide basic understanding of contemporary imaging methods, such as radiography, scanography, arthrography, scintigraphy, stress views, digital radiography, computed tomography, MRI, myelography and sonography. It analyzes and demonstrates the comparative diagnostic utility of different imaging studies in different settings, including trauma osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tumours and tumour-like lesions, infections, metabolic and endocrine disorders, and congenital and developmental anomalies. Further, the work offers guidance in selecting the most effective radiological techniques - aimed at minimizing cost and radiation exposure - in specific settings.
