Written by an acknowledged master in the field, "Skeletal Radiology: The Bare Bones" is a succinct, focused, clinically oriented textbook in musculoskeletal radiology. It presents the core knowledge base in musculoskeletal imaging necessary for radiology residents and practitioners. The major sections focus on trauma, tumors and tumor-like lesions, joint disease, and miscellaneous topics such as developmental and congenital conditions, metabolic, endocrine, and nutritional conditions, infection and marrow disease, postsurgical imaging, and interventional procedures. The emphasis is on understanding how abnormalities on images mirror the specific anatomic and pathophysiologic features of diseases. This third edition includes all modalities in current use, including plain film, ultrasound, PET-CT, and much more MRI than previous editions. The book includes over 900 images selected from the teaching files and clinical case material at leading medical centers.

The Second Edition of this popular text presents over 370 musculoskeletal imaging cases from the teaching files of leading medical centers. The format replicates the learning experience of sitting at the viewbox with an expert consultant, honing your diagnostic reasoning skills - an excellent aid in preparing for board exams. All cases are presented as unknowns in a consistent format - a brief clinical history, one or more images, a description of the findings, the diagnosis, and a discussion. Organized by anatomic region, the case collection encompasses all current imaging modalities and all categories of musculoskeletal disease. This edition includes 37 new cases and new images for 140 cases.
