Full Description
This new edition provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of Imaging of Bone Tumors and Tumor-like lesions. In the first part of the book, the various techniques employed when imaging are discussed in detail. Individual chapters are devoted to computed tomography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, interventional techniques and MRI. The second part then highlights the application of these techniques in detection and diagnosis of bone tumors and tumor-like lesions. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field and a wealth of illustrative material is included. This book will be of great value to radiologists, orthopedic surgeons and other clinicians with an interest in the bone tumors.
