Doody Review Services Reviewer:Richard Tupler, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation)Description:This book sets out the essential, basic facts of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging, covering normal anatomy, the most common abnormalities, and diseases that are unique to the anatomic sites, as well as individual joints and general disease processes. Imaging tips and suggested protocols serve to complete the book. To facilitate learning, the book is logically organized starting with the essential components of the relevant anatomy, followed by descriptions of the abnormalities affecting the individual structures.Purpose:An easy to understand, practical guide to musculoskeletal MRI for both residents and clinicians, this book includes the all of the practical information necessary in order to perform quality MRI, and provides enough detail to be useful and essential while remaining eminently readable.Audience:This is appropriate for radiologists or clinicians interested in gaining a deeper practical understanding of the field. This book succeeds both as a reference to keep by the view box and as a textbook to be read from cover to cover.Features:This second edition incorporates new imaging techniques and updates, including 3T, while maintaining the format of the highly successful original edition.
