Comprehensive in coverage yet succinct in presentation, this new resource provides the fundamental information needed to understand practically every aspect of musculoskeletal imaging. Its quick access format and reader-friendly style make it perfect for both radiology rotation and the busy practitioner. The chapters are designed to follow the way practitioners think so topics are easy to find while a step-by-step approach makes procedures easy to understand.

Features
