Revised and updated for its Third Edition, this highly acclaimed volume is a definitive guide to the clinical imaging of foot and ankle disorders. The title of this edition has changed from Radiology of the Foot and Ankle to Imaging of the Foot and Ankle to reflect a greater emphasis on multimodality imaging approaches to solve diagnostic challenges, specifically the increased use of ultrasound, MR imaging, CT, and diagnostic interventional techniques. The book features increased coverage of ultrasound, PET, and the diabetic foot and upgraded MR and CT images. New syndromes such as impingement have been added to the chapter on soft tissue trauma and overuse. The fractures and dislocations chapter includes OTA classifications and additional MR and CT scans of complications. Other highlights include up-to-date information on new fixation devices and prostheses and state-of-the-art interventional and vascular techniques including use of MRA. This book provides a comprehensive reference for radiologists, radiologists in training, and clinicians who treat foot and ankle disorders including podiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and emergency room physicians.

Diseases of the joints and surrounding tissues cannot be visualised without the help of imaging techniques. These range from x-rays (which have been available for over 100 years) to the highly sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging scanning. The variety of imaging techniques and indeed the quality of these images has improved radically in the past decade and this book attempts to capture the way in which rheumatologists and their colleagues can use a wide variety of techniques to analyse musculoskeletal diseases which are known to exist. This handbook provides the reader with an insight into both which imaging techniques should be applied to particular clinical problems and how the results can be used to determine the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions. It is extensively illustrated with examples of the various imaging techniques and joints to aid understanding, and is organised by anatomical region and specific musculoskeletal disorder to allow easy access to information.

Questo nuovo atlante si articola in tre parti - colonna vertebrale, cingolo scapolare e arto superiore cingolo pelvico e arto inferiore - nelle quali le singole regioni anatomiche sono rappresentatein modo sistematico con sequenza cranio-caudale e, di volta in volta, sui tre piani utilizzati clinicamente. Il nostro scopo era elaborare in modo immediato e rapidamente comprensibile le informazioni su tutte le strutture anatomiche, tramite la contrapposizione di disegni dettagliati e schematici e le corrispondenti immagini ad alta risoluzione di RM in T1 e T2.

Written by one of the leading experts in musculoskeletal radiology, this orthopaedic primer familiarizes radiologists with the indications, applications, potential complications, and radiologic evaluation of orthopaedic fixation devices, appliances, and joint prostheses. The book examines the imaging modalities used in the evaluation of orthopaedic fixation devices and prostheses, the clinical and imaging features and normal appearance of these devices, and the imaging features and most appropriate modalities for evaluating complications. More than 1,900 illustrations complement the text. Note: This book is a condensed version of Berquist's Imaging Atlas of Orthopaedic Appliances and Prostheses, which published in 1994.

Plain radiography is still alive. In many institutions, including ours, conventional radiography has been replaced by digital systems including imaging-plate-based computed radiography and fat-panel detector-based digital radiography. Even for the education of radiation technologists, conventional flm-screen radiography has been de-- phasized, and their education is concentrated on digital systems. Spatial resolution of a conventional system is still far better than the current digital systems, although the dynamic range is wider in the latter system. Industrial flm radiography with small grain size and direct exposure has an even higher resolution, and such hi- resolution systems are something we lost in the transition from the conventional system to the current PACS-friendly system. I am pleased to know that Giuseppe Guglielmi and Wilfred Peh have published this textbook of high-resolution hand radiographs that cannot be obtained with any other techniques. Radiography has always been the most important modality in the evaluation of the hand, and, moreover, high-resolution industrial flms are extremely efective in the evaluation of the hand, particularly for assessing subtle erosions. Hands are not just one of the peripheries of the human body. Tey refect conditions of the whole human body. Not only the metabolic status, but also many congenital disorders are manifested in the hand. Radiographic fndings of the hand are ofen specifc, and contribute to the diagnoses a great deal. Tere have been several publications concerning the radiology of the hand, and they have been well accepted.

La diagnostica per immagini in patologia muscolo-scheletrica ha avuto negli ultimi anni una rapida evoluzione presentando continui miglioramenti tecnici che hanno incrementato sia la sensibilità che la specificità nello studio delle varie patologie. Si sono modificati i protocolli diagnostici, individuando di volta in volta nuove possibilità di studio e relativi approfondimenti indispensabili per una corretta diagnosi e quindi una terapia più mirata e specifica. Il presente volume si rivela utile sia per gli specialisti in ortopedia, ma anche per quelli in radiologia, fisiatria, reumatologia e medicina dello sport, in quanto rappresenta da un lato le specifiche per spiegare le basi tecniche delle varie metodologie di indagine e, dall'altro, contiene le caratteristiche di un vero e proprio atlante che, a seconda delle varie patologie, riassume le indicazioni cliniche integrate dalla diagnostica per immagini. Nel testo è presente anche una puntualizzazione tecnica che consente a specialisti non radiologici di meglio approcciare le caratteristiche delle varie metodiche. La ricca iconografia e la facilità di utilizzo rappresentano uno dei punti di forza di questo testo, tale da rappresentarne un vero e proprio "compagno" di lavoro nell'attività quotidiana.
