Opis

This booklet, in A to Z format, is a succinct but wide-ranging guide to the use of MRI for investigations of the knee joint. It provides easily retrievable answers to the questions that arise frequently during daily radiological practice. All relevant injuries and disorders are covered, typically with brief descriptions of pathological and clinical characteristics, guidance on selection of imaging technique, identification of potential diagnostic clues, and highlighting of useful tips and tricks. In addition, practical, state-of-the-art information is provided on other aspects of relevance. Characteristic images are included as necessary. Knee Imaging, published within the series A-Z Notes in Radiological Practice and Reporting, will be of value for both residents and general radiologists. Beyond assisting in MR reporting, it will help examination candidates in their preparation.

Recenzje

"The scope of this book is to aid radiology residents or registrars and general radiologists in understanding key topics ranging from anatomy, pathology and imaging interpretation relating to the knee. ... Radiological image quality and diagrams are good. Equally good is the standard of production and paper quality. ... this book will best serve readers who already have a basic understanding of imaging of the knee and wish to glean more advanced pearls of image interpretation." (Dr. Ne-Siang Chew and Dr. Andrew Snoddon, RAD Magazine, March, 2017)
