MR-Imaging of the Lumbar Spine: A Teaching Atlas

Two-thirds of degenerative diseases of the vertebral column involve the
lumbar spine. Magnetic resonance imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosis and
treatment. With more than 450 illustrations and 78 case studies illustrating
various constellations of findings, this book provides a wealth of illustrations
that guide the reader through the MR imaging of lumbar disk herniations and
spinal stenosis:

• Impressive series of MR images illustrate both
  common and unusual findings, helping to enhance conceptual understanding and
  sharpen diagnostic perception.
• Clinical findings and progression are covered in
  addition to MRI findings, helping the reader to appreciate the correlations
  between clinical and imaging findings.
• The role of diagnostic imaging is
  addressed for specific disorders, helping to foster the more discriminating use
  of imaging procedures in the lumbar spine.

The book concludes with a chapter on
the current technique of performing CT-guided injections at the lumbar
level.
