This book is an introduction to musculoskeletal radiology, specifically designed for the needs of first-year residents. On the first rotation in musculoskeletal imaging, radiology residents are asked to learn significant amounts of information at a fast and unrelenting pace. However, most current books are densely written and contain far more material than residents need to know. Moreover, the number, variety and quality of images is often limited.What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Musculoskeletal Radiology answers these needs by presenting the important information in bullet fashion, divided into convenient sub-units, such as “clinical information,” “imaging findings,” and “management.” In most cases, an individual pathological condition can be presented in one page or less. In addition, it contains tips on approaching and interpreting radiographs, MRI and CT based on decades of practical experience and teaching residents at the work station.With liberal use of illustrations in the text and an online bank of many more high-quality images, this book gives readers a comprehensive library of musculoskeletal imaging scans and serves as an ideal guide for radiology residents.

This open access book focuses on imaging of the musculoskeletal diseases. Over the last few years, there have been considerable advances in this area, driven by clinical as well as technological developments. The authors are all internationally renowned experts in their field. They are also excellent teachers, and provide didactically outstanding chapters. The book is disease-oriented and covers all relevant imaging modalities, with particular emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging. Important aspects of pediatric imaging are also included. IDKD books are completely re-written every four years. As a result, they offer a comprehensive review of the state of the art in imaging. The book is clearly structured with learning objectives, abstracts, subheadings, tables and take-home points, supported by design elements to help readers easily navigate through the text. As an IDKD book, it is particularly valuable for general radiologists, radiology residents, and interventional radiologists who want to update their diagnostic knowledge, and for clinicians interested in imaging as it relates to their specialty.

Die traumatologischen Kapitel beinhalten aktuelle Darstellungen der gesamten radiologischen Diagnostik in der Traumatologie einschließlich sämtlicher gebräuchlicher Frakturklassifikationen unter Berücksichtigung der Mehrzeilen-Computertomographie.

Der dritte Band hat als Hauptthema die systemischen Knochenerkrankungen, die entzündlichen und degenerativen Gelenkerkrankungen und Erkrankungen der Weichteile. Unter Verwendung eines hervorragenden Bildmaterials werden die angeborenen und erworbenen sklerosierenden Knochenerkrankungen, die metabolischen und hämatologischen Systemerkrankungen, trophische Störungen inklusive Nekrose und die Erkrankungen des Periosts dargestellt. Das umfangreiche Kapitel über die rheumatischen Erkrankungen bewahrt die Tradition der subtilen projektionsradiographischen Diagnostik, verfeinert und vertieft durch aktuelle Ergebnisse einer magnetresonanztomographischen Weichteil- und Knochendiagnostik. Die Kapitel über die (Kristall-)Arthropathien leiten zu den degenerativen Gelenk- und Wirbelsäulenerkrankungen über, die einen wesentlichen und zunehmenden Stellenwert in der radiologischen Diagnostik einnehmen. Schließlich folgen noch ausführliche Kapitel zu Erkrankungen der Weichteile einschließlich ihrer Tumoren.

The first book to combine illustrated examination techniques with diagnostic imaging.The first book ever published to combine the full range of clinical examination techniques with standard radiological imaging studies of the musculoskeletal system, this is a key clinical tool for all orthopedic residents and specialists. You will find dozens of representative imaging studies (including arthrograms, ultrasonography and MRI) integrated with physical examination tests — offering a truly unique approach to reaching an accurate diagnosis.Special features include:Tips for performing a standard physical examination in different areas of the bodyDirections for patient positioning during radiographic studies to obtain optimal resultsHow to select the best test to confirm a diagnosis in the extremities, spine or pelvisSpecific technical guidelines for performing key diagnostic imaging testsIn light of the many new clinical tests and imaging modalities now in use, it is almost impossible for any individual examiner to be familiar with the complete spectrum of diagnostic options available. This book provides the quick orientation clinicians need as they work through the standard examination for each joint, pointing out appropriate imaging studies throughout. Useful and practical, it is a book specialists will reach for frequently in their daily practice.
