Challenging Cases in Musculoskeletal Imaging

This book demonstrates how even difficult cases can be diagnosed by taking a systematic approach to image
interpretation. Drawing upon decades of experience, Dr. Freyschmidt guides readers from case to case while solving the
core problems that arise in making a diagnosis. He shows how initially challenging cases can be turned into cases that
only seemed difficult at the outset.

Step-by-step approach:

Systematic case presentations: prior history and clinical questions, radiologic findings, pathoanatomic classification,
synopsis and discussion, final diagnosis, and comments
Arranged by anatomic region: skull, spine, pelvis, shoulder girdle and thoracic cage, upper and lower limbs
More than 1,400 high-quality images from the authors case files
Over 150 difficult and challenging cases from skeletal radiology
Answers questions such as: What are the requirements of a good diagnosis? How is a good diagnosis defined? Which
imaging procedure will yield the desired information most quickly and accurately?
Describes imaging modalities and gives recommendations on selecting a particular modality
