Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging

Once considered the domain of the physician, the field of radiology, and the patient information that could be obtained from an understanding of it, is now becoming more widely recognized as pertinent to the health professional's practice. Written for the non-radiologist, Lynn McKinnis's text grounds both students and practicing clinicians in the basic principles of imaging, radiographic evaluation of both normal and pathologic bone, and fractures. the author uses a systems approach, organizing chapters by major regions of human anatomy to providing reference points when viewing patient films.
