A pragmatic guide to the use of MRI in diagnosis and treatment in soft tissue and the less dramatic bone and joint components of trauma. Twelve chapters begin with a thorough presentation of the physics of MRI, and then apply this fundamental information to all of the important musculoskeletal tissues, including bone, cartilage, synovium, and marrow. Chapters present, in sequence, a discussion of patient positioning and imaging protocols and then describe the images of soft tissues and osseous structures. They also cover the use of advanced techniques such as fast imaging, MR-based arthrography, and angiography. Contains b&w images and drawings. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
