Description

This practical, comprehensive book provides succinct and up-to-date information on the value of the various diagnostic radiological measurements made using all the imaging modalities currently employed in the management of a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders. The book has a unique design, with three distinct but dove-tailed sections. The first section explains the physico-chemical principles of the various imaging modalities used in measurements and considers the strengths and weaknesses of each modality. The second section examines the application of the imaging modalities to obtain accurate measurements across all musculoskeletal anatomical sites. The third section focuses on the role of measurements in specific disease states. All chapters are written by experts in the field, drawn from across Europe, and the book is lavishly illustrated throughout.
