Diagnostic Imaging: Musculoskeletal Non-Traumatic Disease

Covering the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field, Diagnostic Imaging: Musculoskeletal Non-Traumatic Disease,  third edition, is an invaluable resource for musculoskeletal  radiologists, general radiologists, and trainees―anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference in this complex area of imaging. Drs. Kirkland W. Davis, Donna G.  Blankenbaker, Stephanie A. Bernard, and their team of highly regarded  experts provide up-to-date information on recent advances in technology and the understanding of musculoskeletal diseases and disorders to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. The text is  lavishly illustrated, delineated, and referenced, making it a useful  learning tool as well as a handy reference for daily practice.

• Guides  readers through the complexities of the full range of non-traumatic  musculoskeletal disorders, including arthritis, collagen vascular  diseases, bone tumors, soft tissue tumors, infections, systemic  diseases, developmental and congenital abnormalities, and metabolic  diseases
• Contains multiple new chapters on topics such as musculoskeletal genetics, neurinomas, and rapidly progressive osteoarthritis, among others, as well as updates throughout on reclassified lesions, tumors, and neoplasms; musculoskeletal  infection details, including image-guided aspirations and biopsies for  infections; and evolving medical and surgical treatments for many  musculoskeletal conditions
• Reflects recent changes in the World Health Organization’s classification of tumors and  tumor-like conditions regarding terminology and diagnostic criteria
• Covers evolving imaging techniques such as ultrasound in non-traumatic disease imaging, contrast-enhanced  ultrasound use in tumor biopsies, enhanced MR of musculoskeletal tumors,  and diffusion-weighted MR, and PET/CT and PET/MR use for rapidly  progressive osteoarthritis
