Opis

Written by internationally recognized musculoskeletal, experts provide insightful imaging and clinical overviews of the most relevant joint, bone, and soft tissue athletic injuries. The book offers guidance for the reader on why specific injuries occur, how to identify the optimal imaging evaluation, and how to interpret subsequent imaging findings.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This teaching guide and radiology atlas for sports medicine practitioners is organized into nine joint-specific chapters with additional chapters on postoperative imaging and ultrasound-guided injections. ... developed for both radiologists and sports clinicians. ... The strength of this book is in the way it explains anatomy, mechanism of injury, and injury classification prior to presenting the radiologic images. Diagrams accompany the anatomical review and tables summarize imaging findings for particular diagnoses." (Vijay Jotwani, Doody's Review Service, August, 2010)

"The textbook explains to both radiologists and sports clinicians the anatomy, biomechanics, and pathology relevant to using various forms of imaging in diagnosis, injury grading, prognosis, and guiding therapy. Radiologists from Britain, the US, and Canada also suggest how to determine which imaging technique will be most useful in a particular situation, and how to interpret the results. ... Many very high quality images are provided ... ." (SciTech Book News, December, 2010)

"Essential Radiology for Sports Medicine provides a concise and well-formulated review of the imaging of common sports-related injuries. ... a helpful introductory guide for radiologists and sports practitioners unfamiliar with the sonographic appearance of normal and abnormal structures. ... Readers will be impressed with the quality of the imaging and the clear discussions. ... is well-suited to residents and fellows with a particular interest in sports medicine as well as to the practicing radiologist and sports clinician." (Sarah D. Bixby, Journal of the American Medical Association, January, 2011)

"Provide an overview of imaging findings in sports medicine for radiologists, other physicians, and surgeons. ... presenting a level of detail close to that required in the day-to-day work of a musculoskeletal radiologist or sports medicine clinician in easily accessible form. It will be particularly useful to trainees in these disciplines as a first or introductory book and can serve as a quick refresher or update book for experienced practitioners. The book is highly readable and should find its way onto many bookshelves." (Jacob L. Jaremko, Radiology, Vol. 260 (3), September, 2011)

This highly illustrated, practical book provides a systematic approach to the radiological assessment of all significant sports injuries. Imaging features are presented along with discussion of the influence of these findings on treatment and image-guided interventions. For each anatomical area, the underlying biomechanical features that produce injury are explored. All imaging modalities are featured, with emphasis on MRI, MR arthrography, CT, and ultrasound. A concise guide to sports injuries, this book will help clinicians quickly identify the appropriate imaging techniques to best serve their patients.

This up-to-date resource is an excellent, high-yield resource for radiologists, emergency radiologists, orthopedists, and sports medicine professionals. International experts provide guidance as to how sports injuries occur and how to recognize relevant imaging findings.
