Recent significant advances in both imaging quality and in the understanding of the clinical importance of anatomic findings make Imaging Anatomy: Musculoskeletal, third edition, a must-have reference for your practice. New chapters, updated content, and all-new 3T and 7T MR images provide detailed insight on both human anatomy and imaging pitfalls. Dr. Julia R. Crim and her team of specialists present an easy-to-read, complete anatomic atlas of the musculoskeletal system that features more than 1,600 images and illustrations and carefully chosen references for further reading―making it a highly visual and accessible resource for radiologists at all levels of experience, as well as orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine practitioners, and others involved with musculoskeletal imaging.
- Uses a standardized approach for each anatomic region, emphasizes relevant anatomy for clinical practice, and combines text and images to detail normal variants and imaging pitfalls―providing a wealth of information to guide imaging diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders
- Includes an MR atlas for each region that shows structures in at least three planes; all-new MR images allow better visualization of small structures, including peripheral nerves and arterial anatomy
- Contains new anatomic detail to improve diagnosis of subtle injuries, including injuries to articular and periarticular structures and musculotendinous junction; new chapters on brachial plexus, scapula and scapulothoracic junction, sternum and clavicle; new introductory chapters on bone maturation and normal bone marrow, and the musculotendinous unit; and new, curated references that link anatomy to diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal abnormalities
- Features bulleted text, radiographs, and large, high-quality, extensively labeled artists’ illustrations throughout
- Provides focus chapters that dive deeper into the most complex anatomic issues, variants, pitfalls, and clinical relevance―for example, the extensor mechanism of the knee
- Discusses updates in key anatomic measurements used in orthopedic surgery, and provides new information on imaging pitfalls
- Includes an eBook that allows you access to everything in the print version as well as additional images, text, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud; additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
