Main description:

This new edition is a complete guide to imaging techniques for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal and breast diseases and disorders.

Divided into 29 sections, the book begins with imaging for different musculoskeletal conditions including bone tumours, osteoporosis, and rheumatological disorders. Several chapters are dedicated to subspecialty MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of the shoulder, wrist, hip and pelvis, knee, and ankle.

The remaining sections discuss breast imaging, with a complete chapter dedicated to the male breast.

The fourth edition has been fully revised to provide radiologists and trainees with the latest advances and guidelines in the field.

The comprehensive text, spanning 700 pages, is further enhanced by radiological images and figures.
