Imaging in Spine Surgery tailors the highly regarded Diagnostic Imaging series templates with radiology images and color graphics to the needs of neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, pain management and rehab (PM&R) physicians, and anesthesiologists. It provides clinical information for diagnosis and appropriate care for the patient, resulting in the perfect comprehensive text for spine surgeons.
* Combines chapters that include all entities that neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, PM&R physicians, and anesthesiologists who do spine procedures are likely to encounter from the following Amirsys radiology titles:

* Imaging Anatomy: Musculoskeletal by Manaster

* Diagnostic Imaging: Spine by Ross

* Specialty Imaging: Craniovertebral Junction by Ross

* Specialty Imaging: Postoperative Spine by Ross

* Specialty Imaging: Pain Management by LaBarge

* Allows readers to understand the significance of a given radiologic finding and what should be done next for the appropriate care of that patient
* Each chapter contains Key Facts and 4 images (a mix of radiology images and drawings) with captions and extensive annotations designed specifically for surgeons, important clinical information, and definitions and clarifications of unfamiliar radiology nomenclature
* Selected prose intros and imaging anatomy chapters help nonradiology clinicians quickly master the key points of imaging relevant to spine surgery
* Written at a level accessible to neurosurgery and orthopedic residents, but also contains "pearls" the most experienced surgeons will find useful
* Expert Consult eBook version included, which allows you to search all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices
