However, ultrasound is now perceived as a dynamic, inexpensive alternative to the established but more expensive technique of MRI. Radiologists, orthopaedists, and other clinicians for whom MRI has long been the modality of choice in examining the musculoskeletal system now need a guide to the application of US. This book will do just that. In a combined atlas and teaching file with over 800 spectacular images, four leaders in the field, including Don Resnick and Marnix van Holsbeeck, present correlative MR and ultrasound images to illustrate how the two modalitiesone commonly used in musculoskeletal exams, the other notcan be applied effectively to diagnose musculoskeletal ailments. The 12 major peripheral segments in the extremities (shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle, and foot) will be explored fully.
* Provides a comprehensive guide of musculoskeletal ultrasound compared to musculoskeletal MRI to familiarize the reader with the lesser known application of musculoskeletal ultrasound alongside the more popular application of musculoskeletal MRI. * Features two visually-stimulating, time-efficient learning tool formats with a one-of-a-kind combined anatomic atlas of the normal musculoskeletal system and a teaching file of the abnormal musculoskeletal system. * Includes corresponding MR and ultrasound images throughout the book so the reader can examine the image of a musculoskeletal ailment by ultrasound in terms of the image by MRI. * Includes more than 800 spectacular MR and ultrasound images, published for the first time from the extensive teaching files of the authors, so the readers learn from the finest collections of musculoskeletal MR and US images available. * Features twelve chapters organized by anatomy - shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle, and foot - so the reader will be able to address the major bone and joint articulations one by one for structured reading and comprehension. * Includes atlas sections with bulleted lists of ultrasound indications and screening protocols for a sensible and consistent text format. * Features all teaching file sections with an index of pathology cases, patient history, list of abnormal findings, pathologic diagnosis, discussion of disease processes, and literature references so the reader can access key information easily for structured reading and comprehension. * Provides special mini-illustrations or icons of 1) schematic of anatomy intersected by a line representing image plane and 2) reduced-size photo of correct transducer placement on patientso reader has a thumbnail sketch of the anatomy and plane view, as well as a handy picture showing how to obtain the desired image to help train the reader obtain and read images successfully. * Features premiere authorship by Drs. Resnick and van Holsbeeck along with their highly competent junior colleagues, renowned experts in the field of musculoskeletal radiology, so readers learn from the best.
