<p>Use this atlas to accurately interpret images of musculoskeletal disorders! Taylor, Hughes, and Resnick's <b>Skeletal Imaging: Atlas of the Spine and Extremities, 2nd Edition</b> 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.</p><br><br><ul> <li><b>Over 2,100 images</b> include radiographs, radionuclide studies, CT scans, and MR images, illustrating pathologies and comparing them with other disorders in the same region.</li> <p> <li><b>Organization by anatomic region</b> addresses common afflictions for each region in separate chapters, so you can see how a particular region looks when affected by one condition as compared to its appearance with other conditions.</li> <p></p> <p> <li><b>Coverage of each body region</b> includes normal developmental anatomy, fractures, deformities, dislocations, infections, hematologic disorders, and more. </li> <p></p> <p> <li><b><i>Normal Developmental Anatomy</i> sections</b> open each chapter, describing important developmental landmarks in various regions of the body from birth to skeletal maturity.</li> <p></p> <p> <li><b>Practical tables</b> provide a quick reference to essential information, including normal developmental anatomic milestones, developmental anomalies, common presentations and symptoms of diseases, and much more. </li> <p></p></ul><br><br><ul> <li><b>400 new and replacement images</b> are added to the book, showing a wider variety of pathologies. </li> <p> <li><b>More MR imaging</b> is added to each chapter.</li> <p></p> <p> <li><b>Up-to-date research</b> includes the latest on scientific advances in imaging.</li> <p></p> <p> <li><b>References</b> are completely updated with new information and evidence.</li> <p></p></ul>
