This volume is intended to provide radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and other clinicians with an up-to-date review of imaging of the musculoskeletal system. In the first part of the book, the various imaging techniques are discussed in turn, with particular attention to their advantages and disadvantages. The second part then documents the application of these techniques to the clinical problems and diseases encountered in specific anatomical regions. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field, and a wealth of illustrative material is included
