Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases

Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases

by Jr. Wagner Yong-Whee Bahk Henry N. (Author)

The third edition of Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases has been comprehensively rewritten and rearranged. It now encompasses, in addition to the
bone and joint diseases described in the two earlier editions, hitherto unpublished novel applications of pinhole scanning to the diagnosis of a broader spectrum of skeletal disorders than
ever before, including those of the soft tissues. A large number of state-of-the-art scans and corroboratory radiograms obtained using CT, MRI and/or sonography are presented side by side.
The book has been considerably expanded to discuss five new themes: Normal Variants and Artifacts, Drug-Induced Osteoporosis, Soft-Tissue Tumors and Tumor-like Conditions, PET/CT in Bone and
Joint Diseases and A Genetic Consideration of Skeletal Disorders. Topical chapters on rheumatic skeletal disorders, malignant tumors of bone, benign tumors of bone and traumatic diseases
have also been thoroughly rewritten and are complemented by the addition of some 90 recently acquired cases.
