Imaging of the Hand and Wrist: Techniques and Applications

In the past, radiographs of the hand have been described as the “skeleton’s calling card”, showing manifestations of
many different diseases. As hand and wrist imaging has become increasingly sophisticated, this observation has become
more true than ever. This is a comprehensive, up-to-date textbook on imaging of the hand and wrist. In the first part
of the book, the various imaging techniques are discussed in detail. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography,
ultrasound, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine. The second part of the book gives an authoritative review of the various
pathologies that may be encountered in the hand and wrist, encompassing congenital and developmental abnormalities,
trauma, and the full range of localized and systemic disorders. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in
the field, and a wealth of illustrative material is included. This book will be of great value to musculoskeletal and
general radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons and rheumatologists.
