Diagnostic Imaging of Musculoskeletal Diseases - A Systematic Approach by Akbar Bonakdarpour, William R. Reinus, and Jasvir S. Khurana is at once readable by the radiology resident experiencing musculoskeletal radiology for the first time and thorough enough to be used by the practicing radiologist. This book provide a text that not only conveys important information about common and some less common musculoskeletal diseases, but more importantly provides a practical and systematic approach to analyzing diseases of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Each category a means by which to conceptualize and analyze how pathology changes their appearance on medical images.
The author organized this text according to major categories of disease: trauma, infection, tumors and tumor-like conditions, metabolic diseases, endocrine disorders, dysplastic diseases, and arthritis. Where disease categories overlap, e.g., intraosseous tophus or brown tumor of bone, the author discuss those points under each appropriate heading. Where there is debate as to the etiology of a disease, the author also discuss these issues guiding the reader to what current thinking has to say about that disease.
The book also include a chapter that examines basic interventional techniques that apply to musculoskeletal imaging. The idea is not to provide an exhaustive reference on any one technique, but instead to give the reader a primer on these techniques and their indications with guidance for finding further information.
Finally, in recognition of the importance of orthopedic procedures, the author include information on the use, imaging appearance, and pathology affecting prostheses and fixation devices. This information is essential to the practice of modern radiology.
