Opis

Emergency Musculoskeletal Imaging in Children is a practical, concise, and easy-to-read guide to the radiologic workup of acute musculoskeletal injuries and conditions in children. The book is conveniently organized by anatomic site and covers all acute injuries and conditions of the upper and lower extremities encountered in the emergency room, outpatient clinic, and office. Close attention is also given to normal findings and anatomic variants that can mimic pathology. More than 600 MR, CT, ultrasound, and radiographic images complement the text.

Recenzje

From the book reviews:

"Emergency Musculoskeletal Imaging in Children ... is a concise text geared toward radiologists interested in improving their interpretation of pediatric fractures. ... this book is a useful catalog of practical tips and experience-based knowledge from one of the stalwarts of pediatric radiology. ... For the radiologist who only occasionally deals with childhood trauma, or who may struggle with confounding pediatric fractures, having this handy book in the reading room would be beneficial." (Stephen F. Simoneaux, Radiology, Vol. 273 (3), December, 2014)

Blurb

This book is a practical guide to the radiologic evaluation of acute musculoskeletal injuries of the upper and lower extremities in children. It covers the detection of more subtle and frequently missed fractures and injuries such as buckle fractures, Salter Harris I and II fractures, and epiphyseal and metaphyseal fractures.  It also emphasizes the assessment of soft tissues and periarticular fat pads, which can lead to discovery of the sites of bony injuries.  Other pathologies that affect the musculoskeletal system, such as infections and tumors,  are also discussed.  It includes over 600 magnetic resonance, computed tomography, ultrasound, and radiographic images organized by anatomic region.  Edited by Leonard Swischuk, a world-renowned expert in pediatric radiology and trauma imaging, Emergency Musculoskeletal Imaging in Children is a valuable resource for diagnostic radiologists, emergency physicians, residents, and fellows.
