Musculoskeletal Ultrasound with MRI Correlations

With an emphasis on the accuracy and dynamic nature of no-radiation ultrasound, leading clinicians from around the world provide practical guidance on how to combine different multiplanar imaging modalities in the analysis and diagnosis of common musculoskeletal disorders. Organized by body region, each of the 13 chapters follows a consistent, easy-to-reference format. The authors guide the reader through clinical indications, technical guidelines and normal anatomy followed by information on degenerative diseases, inflammatory conditions, traumatic injuries, tumors and various other musculoskeletal problems. Clear, high-resolution ultrasound images appear side by side with MRI and in some cases CT, images to teach and train readers how to perform musculoskeletal ultrasound in clinical practice while simultaneously sharpening their diagnostic skills.

Features:
