Resnick's Bone and Joint Imaging, 4th Edition
Distilling all of the most important content from Dr. Donald L. Resnick's highly esteemed, five-volume Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Disorders into a single, concise source, Bone and Joint Imaging, 4th Edition focuses on the specific, state-of-the-art musculoskeletal imaging and interpretation knowledge practitioners need today . This highly anticipated new edition has been fully revised from cover to cover for a remarkably thorough, yet focused and pragmatic, source of clinical guidance. Dr. Resnick's carefully chosen editorial team, Drs. Jon A. Jacobson, Christine B. Chung, Mini N. Pathria (all former Resnick fellows) and Mark J. Kransdorf (co-author of the previous edition), are well-equipped to expertly address the many recent changes in musculoskeletal radiology since the previous edition. Authoritative, easy-to-read text and more than 3,800 exquisite images demonstrate every principle and capture the characteristic presentation of the wide range of disorders you're most likely to encounter in everyday practice.
