MRI of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors and Tumorlike Lesions 
Differential Diagnosis and Atlas

Practical. In-depth. Invaluable.


A guide to the diagnosis of tumors and tumorlike lesions of bone and soft tissue using MRI.

This unique encyclopedic guide takes the same approach you apply in clinical practice. It features fully illustrated differential diagnosis tables organized according to MRI findings and the locations of tumors. An in-depth reference section provides information on each lesion. In addition, almost 3000 high quality images make this practical text an invaluable tool in the diagnosis of common and rare tumors and other disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Features:

20 differential diagnosis tables based on anatomic locations of lesions rather than disease
Fully illustrated reference chapters containing concise, detailed information for each lesion – from relative frequency and age ranges to MRI findings, treatment, and prognosis
Over 2900 state-of-the-art illustrations covering the wide range of imaging features for various lesions
An exceptional level of detail, helping you to differentiate between diseases and conditions that have similar appearances
Extensive cross-referencing to further up-to-the minute resources
This is the definitive guide to MRI of musculoskeletal tumors. Whether you need a practical guide for day-to-day use or a comprehensive preparation tool for board examinations – keep this text close to the workstation.
