Imaging of Vertebral Trauma

Expanded to nearly twice its original size, the Second Edition of this text presents thoroughly updated guidelines on the radiologic diagnosis of vertebral injuries. Highlights of the Second Edition include substantial new chapters on magnetic resonance imaging, biomechanics, and vertebral stability and instability. The Second Edition also features a new chapter on controversies in imaging of vertebral trauma, particularly the current debate over what constitutes adequate examination on a patient involved in an accident. More than 800 illustrations complement the text throughout.
