Diagnostic and Surgical Imaging Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This series of anatomy texts has no peer. Each section outlines the key facts, presents superbly executed graphics in explanation, then proceeds to meticulously demonstrate the fine details and subtleties of imaging anatomy using well-labelled and captioned images from every imaging modality ---from plain radiographs through ultrasound, CT, MR, scintigraphy, and even PET.
Admittedly the three volumes will set you back nearly a $1,000 if you get the e-book option (very worthwhile to avoid lugging the set back and forth from home to work), but nothing else comes close to such completeness and quality.

MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't care for this book much. It strikes me as just a collection of images the authors had lying around. No real purpose or structure. To suggest that this book is about pitfalls is misleading. There's really no text to this book, just captions to pictures. So don't expect a discussion of common pitfalls and how to avoid them. This book isn't even remotely as useful as Keats, so the comparison is inaccurate in my opinion. The idea is a good one, but this book does not deliver what the title suggests.

MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease.
Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists.

The 3-Minute Musculoskeletal & Peripheral Nerve Exam Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I absolutely love this book! It's small, handy and has tons of pictures to easily highlight what and how to examine. Also, has very useful, detailed drawings of each nerve that are clinically relevant. I'm in Family Practice and some parts of this book are beyond me (EMG, detailed muscle innervation/needle placement info, cord injury info), but 80% of the book is what I was taught in medical school and can't remember for those 5 patients a month that need a thorough exam. I also like how well and concisely it's organized.

With over 200 techniques available for examining different muscles and joints, it is impractical to accurately remember them all. But now there is a shortcut: The 3-Minute Musculoskeletal & Peripheral Nerve Exam is a clear, concise, and accessible reference for conducting a thorough musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve examination in a clinical setting.
With a consistent presentation of each examination technique, this pocket-sized guide is both a tutorial for students and a reference for experienced practitioners. Each examination includes detailed photographs of models with labeled structures, and a standard format that covers:What action the patient performsWhat action the examiner performsFindings that indicate a positive testWhat the positive test signifies
Covering a comprehensive collection of the conditions for which a patient would seek medical care, The 3-Minute Musculoskeletal & Peripheral Nerve Exam features:Small, discreet trim size, perfect for quick review prior to seeing a patientExtensive use of detailed photographs for each examA section on the American Spinal Cord Injury Association examination and classification protocolsAn illustrative tutorial on gait and postureA comprehensive table of clinically relevant muscles and their action, location for EMG/Botox needle placement and nerve/root innervationA quick reference guide to all of these conditions and procedures
The 3-Minute Musculoskeletal & Peripheral Nerve Exam will aid in the evaluation of joint problems through physical exam maneuvers and will teach the detection of muscle weakness and the examination of peripheral nerves and reflexes. It is an essential means of quick reference for residents and clinicians in physiatry, neurology, pain medicine, orthopedics, internal medicine, and family practice. (20100503)

Emergency Radiology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Schwartz's Emergency Radiology was written by emergency physicians and it shows. It serves its mission well, that is, to teach radiology as it pertains to emergency physicians (from the foot to the brain, from CT scans to plain films) as well as serve as a valuable reference in the busy ED. High-yield radiographic images and anatomical schematics correlate nicely with the well-written text. The authors assume very little as the book relies on basic pathophysiology and general medical descriptives (understood by even beginning medical students) rather than the obscure terminology of most radiology texts (which are written by radiologists). The book goes further to correlate abnormal radiographic findings with the incidence of actual significant pathology, making it an exceptionally useful tool in this day and age of cost-effective resource utilization. Medical students will find it very readable and extremely valuable in its basic foundations. (I personally wish I had this as a student). Seasoned attendings in any field (maybe even radiologists!) will find definite practical value as well. In summary, this unique textbook comes highly recommended by this emergency resident who prefers to truly understand the pathophysiology behind radiographic findings and its clinical relevance without unnecessary details.

In the emergency department, consistent and accurate interpretation of radiographs is vital for the care of the acutely ill or injured patient. Written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians, this new title conveys the information required to interpret routine radiographic studies with the signposts for quick and accurate diagnosis. The book organizes the crucial and most elemental information, combining clear instructional figures and tables with clinically relevant text. High quality radiographs are accompanied by line drawings which more clearly define the anatomy as seen in the image. (20010101)
