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.
