Description

Organized by findings to reflect how radiologists really work, this abundantly illustrated book offers more than 2,000 magnetic resonance images depicting commonly seen congenital and acquired disorders, as well as many rare and unusual cases. Along with the radiographic findings, you will enjoy brief tabular summaries of essential demographic, pathologic, and clinical features of each disease.

The book is divided into anatomical sections, including: the brain; head and neck; spine; musculoskeletal system; chest; abdomen; and pelvis. All diseases and findings are cross-referenced, providing quick access to desired information.

Special features:

• Chapters arranged by anatomic location instead of by disease - mirroring the approach you apply in daily practice
• Hundreds of tables listing pathological features to assist in the diagnostic process
• Detailed descriptions allow you to differentiate between diseases and conditions that have similar appearances
• More than 2,000 state-of-the-art images, along with detailed diagrams and charts, give helpful examples of actual findings
• Extensive cross-referencing of information leads you to further resources

Here is the quintessential guide to magnetic resonance imaging that radiologists and other physicians need to enhance their diagnostic skills. Residents and fellows will use it as an invaluable board preparation tool. Keep this practical text close at hand.

An encyclopedia of MR imaging of the head, body, and extremities...describes all of the abnormalities demonstratable by MR imaging...informative, well-written and organized...image quality is outstanding...highly recommended to all physicians, residents, and students... --American Journal of RoentgenologyLists various differential diagnoses according to anatomic location...easy-to-read format...chapters are well organized and illustrated...most useful for those interested in seeing the panoply of various diseases that can occur in a specific location...recommended. --AuntMinnie.comContains the essential information for a comprehensive systematic differential diagnosis of disease using MRI...more than 2, state-of-the-art images...helpful to radiologists involved in interpreting MRI scans...should be kept close by in the work environment. --RAD MagazineThis method of indexing encourages usage because the information needed is easily accessed. . . more importantly, all of these main sections include a rather intensive overview of the anatomical region to which they pertain. . . This type of book, particularly in this format, is an essential addition to any practice or clinical setting. . . This book provides an answer when you're not sure 'what the heck it could be' and you cannot consult with your colleagues. . . highly recommend to radiologists, fellows, medical students, and MRI technologists. --ADVANCE for Imaging and Radiation Therapy Professionals...is a useful text in approaching a different diagnosis based on imaging findings rather than one argument on disease entities...all of these are published by Thieme, which did an outstanding job in the reproduction of the images and other illustrations and tables...A major advantage of this book are the tables, which present the differential diagnosis in tabular form, also helpful in the use of other modalities. I believe that this book will be extremely useful not only to radiology residents, but also for radiologists looking for a review of the differential diagnosis of disease as they present on MRI. --Clinical Imaging
