Imaging anatomy

"This second edition of Imaging Anatomy: Musculoskeletal retains features that made the 1st edition widely popular. Images are extensively labeled in 3 planes and include long bones as well as joints. Coronal and axial images of right and left sides are placed on facing pages. Anatomy is described with attention to issues of clinical importance. So what is new that justifies a new edition? We have made numerous changes that we believe will make this work more complete and easier to use. The chapter organization has been made more uniform in the 2nd edition. The overview chapter for each anatomic region contains a written text supplemented by color anatomy illustrations. The overview is followed by a chapter describing radiographic and arthrographic anatomy, and by an MR atlas. In the MR Atlas, the scout images are larger, making correlation easier. Additional chapters detailing uniquely difficult anatomic or functional regions follow the MR Atlas. Additional material has been added to better explicate the complex anatomy of the hip, hand, thumb, ankle, and foot. We have standardized and expanded sections describing standard imaging lines, angles, and measurements, in order to make it easy for radiologists to reference both methodology and normal values. In addition, chapters featuring normal variants and imaging pitfalls have been added. And last but not least, we discovered and corrected some labeling errors from the 1st edition. We hope and expect the users, our colleagues, will find the improvements made in this edition to be useful in their practice."--Provided by publisher.
