Radiographic positioning - comprehensive and conciseNow in its second edition, Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning is a practical how-to guide that provides the detailed information you need to reproducibly obtain high-quality radiographic images for optimal evaluation and interpretation of normal, abnormal, and pathological anatomic findings. It shows positioning techniques for all standard examinations in conventional radiology, with and without contrast, as well as basic positioning for CT and MRI. For each type of study a double-page spread features an exemplary radiograph, positioning sketches, and helpful information on imaging technique and parameters, criteria for the best radiographic view, and patient preparation. Clearly organized to be used in day-to-day practice, the atlas serves as an ideal companion to Moeller and Reif's Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy and their three-volume Pocket Atlas of Cross-Sectional Anatomy. Highlights of the second edition: New chapters on positioning in MRI and CT, including multislice CT A greatly expanded section on mammography Special features, including information on the advantages of a specific view, variations of positions, and practical tips and tricks Nearly 500 excellent radiographs and drawings demonstrating the relationship between correct patient positioning and effective diagnostic images Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning, Second Edition is an excellent desk or pocket reference for radiologists, radiology residents, and for radiologic technologists.

The key for any beginning radiologist who wishes to recognize pathological findings is to first acquire an ability to distinguish them from normal ones. This outstanding guide gives beginning radiologists the tools they need to systematically approach and recognize normal MR and CT images.Highlights include: Reference-quality images from the author's own teaching files show all standard normal findings as seen in CT and MRIChecklists in each section offer the reader a systematic way to approach the imagesThorough guidelines to help beginning radiologists dictate their reportsLists of standard measurements and tips for ruling out pathology

The method of making findings and the systematic method of interpreting images are still relevant today.This book deals with a subject that is seemingly trivial: normal findings in radiology. However, the normal is also the frequent, but not always the simple. Every radiologist has experienced difficulties in the systematics of imaging and with phrasing the diagnosis. This book is intended to answer three questions: How should the diagnosis be phrased? Which general scheme can I use to evaluate an image; how can I check for the degree of normality? Which data allow me to evidence normality, and what measurements should be taken?In spite of the introduction of digital X-ray imaging, the interpretation of conventional X-rays has not basically changed during the past ten years, which is evidenced by the development of this book. Since its first publication in 1987, it has gone through several unchanged reprints. In the 2nd German edition the text has hardly been changed; however, several new images have been added.The method of making findings and the systematic method of interpreting images are still relevant today. Consequently, the strict and systematic organization of the book was left unchanged. The new layout leads to a clearer accessibility of the material for the reader.

A handy, full-color resource for interpreting musculoskeletal MRI scans with confidenceThis superbly illustrated atlas provides a comprehensive presentation of the normal sectional anatomy of the musculoskeletal system to aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting the joints, soft tissues, bones, and bone marrow. A precise, full-color drawing accompanies each high-quality sectional image, helping the reader to gain a solid understanding of the topographic anatomy and to differentiate between normal and pathologic conditions. Following examples of whole-body imaging, the atlas offers complete representations of the spinal column and the upper and lower extremities. The contiguous images of the extremities in transverse sections facilitate the identification of structures extending beyond the joints.Key features: Top-quality MRI scans, including whole-body views, produced with the most current, high-performance equipment Full-color illustrations drawn by the authors for optimal precision and accuracy Easy identification of anatomic structures through a uniform color code in the drawings Contiguous cross-sectional anatomy of the extremities Information on the location and direction of each slice for rapid orientation Atlas of Sectional Anatomy: The Musculoskeletal System is an invaluable reference for the daily practice of radiologists, radiology residents, and radiologic technologists.

Radiographic anatomy at your fingertips.The Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy precisely describes the anatomical structures shown on conventional X-ray images and on the most important arthrographic and angiographic examinations.The double-page spread format makes the book extremely user-friendly: The X-ray image is directly juxtaposed with a detailed drawing showing the clinically relevant anatomical structures. This enables simple, clear, and rapid identification and naming of the anatomical structures shown on the X-ray images.Ideal for quick reference, the expanded 4th edition has been supplemented with new images, such as full-length views of the spine and leg, making it an indispensable resource for medical professionals and students alike.
