A large number of state-of-the-art scans and corroboratory images 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. «
