Designed specifically for orthopedic surgeons 
involved in the review of musculoskeletal MRIs, this book enables clinicians to 
develop a systematic approach to the interpretation of MRI studies. It provides 
clinicians with a solid understanding of essential concepts, including the physics 
of MRI, various pulse sequences available for obtaining an MRI, and 
normal MRI anatomy and contains chapters on special considerations for 
imaging articular cartilage and soft-tissue and bone tumors, as well as advanced 
techniques such as MR arthrography and MR angiography, correlation with other 
imaging modalities, and safety issues.

Features:

• More than 700 MRIs and instructive illustrations to 
  highlight key concepts related to normal anatomy and pathologic processes 
   
• Practical discussion of how other imaging modalities 
  correlate with MRI 
   
• Clinical insights from leading orthopedic surgeons and 
  radiologists

An ideal resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and fellows, 
this book provides essential instruction on how to approach MRI studies in 
everyday practice. With its practical coverage of clinical concepts, this book 
will also serve as a valuable reference for radiologists, rheumatologists, 
primary care physicians, and other specialists who care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
