Is a radiological finding normal or pathologic? This "borderline" between the
two states presents a daunting challenge to radiologists and orthopedic surgeons
on a daily basis. Thieme proudly presents the updated and expanded fifth edition
of the landmark text generations of physicians have used to differentiate
borderline findings!
Redesigned for optimal use, the book is organized according to diagnostic
questions raised by clinical findings, radiographic findings, or both. You’ll
find all possible variants in five pathologic categories: anomaly; trauma;
necroses; inflammation; and tumor. The book provides imaging examples of the
entire body, from the skull base, shoulder, and clavicle, to lower spine, knees,
and the feet. More than 4,200 high-quality illustrations give clear examples of
potential findings.
Key features of this historic text:
- Illustrated with more than 4,200
outstanding drawings, photographs, and radiographs–nearly 4 per page! - Full coverage of pathologic conditions in their
fully developed form, - Exhaustive analysis of borderline findings for both
pediatric and adult cases - Valuable guidelines on integrating pathologic conditions with CT and
MRI findings
This book is the encyclopedic resource that will expand your knowledge of
findings in skeletal radiology and enhance your diagnostic skills. No personal
or professional library is complete without this new standard-bearer in the
field!
