Designed specifically for orthopedic surgeons
involved in the review of musculoskeletal MRIs, this book enables clinicians to
develop a systematic approach to the interpretation of MRI studies. It provides
clinicians with a solid understanding of essential concepts, including the physics
of MRI, various pulse sequences available for obtaining an MRI, and
normal MRI anatomy and contains chapters on special considerations for
imaging articular cartilage and soft-tissue and bone tumors, as well as advanced
techniques such as MR arthrography and MR angiography, correlation with other
imaging modalities, and safety issues.

Features:

• More than 700 MRIs and instructive illustrations to
  highlight key concepts related to normal anatomy and pathologic processes
  
  
• Practical discussion of how other imaging modalities
  correlate with MRI
  
  
• Clinical insights from leading orthopedic surgeons and
  radiologists

An ideal resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and fellows,
this book provides essential instruction on how to approach MRI studies in
everyday practice. With its practical coverage of clinical concepts, this book
will also serve as a valuable reference for radiologists, rheumatologists,
primary care physicians, and other specialists who care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
