This is the ideal resource for all those requiring an authoritative and up-to-date review of imaging appearances of diseases of the lung, pleura and mediastinum. Chest radiography and CT are integrated with other imaging techniques, including MRI and PET, where appropriate. The clinical and pathologic features of different diseases are provided in varying degrees of detail with more in depth coverage given to rarer and less well understood conditions.
Use this atlas to accurately interpret images of musculoskeletal disorders! Taylor, Hughes, and Resnick’s Skeletal Imaging: Atlas of the Spine and Extremities, 2nd Edition covers each anatomic region separately, so common disorders are shown within the context of each region. This allows you to examine and compare images for a variety of different disorders. A separate chapter is devoted to each body region, with coverage of normal developmental anatomy, developmental anomalies and normal variations, and how to avoid a misdiagnosis by differentiating between disorders that appear to be similar. All of the most frequently encountered musculoskeletal conditions are included, from physical injuries to tumors to infectious diseases.
Topics include: Overuse and Impingement syndromes of the shoulder; Imaging of shoulder instability; Overuse and traumatic injuries of the elbow; Overuse and Traumatic Injuries of the hand and wrist; Imaging of Groin Pain; Overuse injuries of the hip; Traumatic Injuries of the hip; Imaging of knee instability; Overuse injuries of the knee; MRI of meniscal and cartilage injuries of the knee; MRI of muscle injuries; Traumatic injuries and Impingement lesions of the foot and ankle.

Damage to the kidneys continues to be a serious problem related to the use of gadolinium as a contrast agent. This issue not only describes the dangers and controversies related to contrast-induced nephropathies but also provides advice for identifying patients at risk and recommending other imaging options.
This issue provides a comprehensive overview of imaging of the prostate using PET and PET/CT. In addition to providing correlates from other modalities, this issue also covers treatment planning for radiation therapy and follow-up.
New radiotracers will make possible the imaging of other parts of the body using PET. This issue reviews the latest advances and provides a look to the future of PET imaging.
This issue of Ultrasound Clinics provides a general overview of women’s imaging with ultrasound. Included in the issue are articles on imaging breast masses, performing breast biopsies using ultrasound, and postsurgical follow up. The remainder of the issue reviews obstetric topics such as ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy-related genitourinary diseases, and first trimester bleeding, and gynecologic topics such as postmenopausal bleeding, endometriosis, and ovarian torsion among others.
