MRI in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine by Srikumaran, Uma; Jain, MD, MBA, Amit; Khanna, A. Jay;

Hosszú leírás:

Most orthopaedic surgeons learn the skill of reading MRI diagnostics in an informal fashion during residency, fellowship, and clinical practice. Unlike radiologists who are trained to evaluate MRI studies in a systematic fashion, orthopaedic surgeons rely on anatomic expertise and experience, which may not be the most accurate interpretation method. MRI in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine: The Essentials, edited by Uma Srikumaran, Amit Jain, and A. Jay Khanna provides a foundational basis for understanding MRIs and their interpretation in a clinical context. This textbook is the third in a series of three, with the prior two entitled MRI for Orthopaedic Surgeons and MRI Essentials for the Spine Specialist. This volume incorporates relevant text, images, and drawings from the prior books, while featuring current and new theories and practices, contributions from acknowledged experts, and additional illustrative material. The 21 chapters are organized into five parts: MRI Essentials, Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Neurological Imaging, and Tumors.

Key Highlights

• Contributions from orthopaedic surgeons, spine surgeons, spine specialists, and radiologists provide well-rounded clinical perspectives specific to the musculoskeletal system

• An organized, systematic approach to viewing musculoskeletal MRIs facilitates accurate diagnosis and treatment selection

• Review of normal anatomy, anatomical variants, and pathology enhances diagnostic skills

This textbook will help orthopaedic surgeons, sports specialists, and spine specialists learn how to systematically evaluate and interpret MRI studies of the musculoskeletal system and thereby improve clinical practice. Radiologists and other specialists who treat patients with various musculoskeletal conditions will also benefit from consulting this reader-friendly reference
