Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging (Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation)

A volume in the Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation Series

Edited by Steven L. Wolf, PhD, PT, FAPTA

Author Lynn McKinnis, the 2009 winner of APTA’s Helen J. Hislop Award for Outstanding Contributions to Professional Literature, presents a straightforward, logical approach to medical imaging for physical therapists.

After introductory chapters on basic radiology, a chapter on how to evaluate radiographs and chapters on advanced medical imaging, the text is organized by anatomic regions and then by joints.

At the heart of each anatomic chapter is a complete set of normal, routine radiographs that include tracings and point-by-point teaching observations. Each chapter ends with a discussion and offers imaging examples for commonly seen traumas and pathologies. The accompanying CD-ROM features exercises that reinforce the content in the text and help you to identify and recognize anatomy and pathologies.
