Image Interpretation: Bones, Joints, And Fractures Av James (Lecturer In Diagnostic Imaging University Of Leeds Uk) Harcus, Voyin Pantic

Interpreting X-ray images correctly is essential for diagnostic radiographers, as well as a widely used skill for emergency department doctors, nurse practitioners, and many other healthcare professions. This new title provides a systematic, methodical approach to musculoskeletal image interpretation and its role in the evaluation and treatment of injury. A companion to the eighth edition of Bones and Joints, this book covers the basic principles for interpreting images and then follows a simple regional approach to common radiographic projections. It goes on to consider common and important fracture patterns and other injuries related to that region, as well as the differences between normal and abnormal images. Image Interpretation is an ideal learning guide for undergraduates, those transitioning to graduate roles or clinical practice, and other healthcare professionals wanting to supplement their training. User-friendly format: readers will be able to use the text to seamlessly explore the concepts between normal anatomy and abnormal radiographic appearances Systematic approach provided for each common radiographic projection Online case studies for readers to test and apply their clinical knowledge Key important learning points (''Insights'') Annotated radiographic images and examples to support learning
