Musculoskeletal Imaging : Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures

This text aims to provide a single-volume comprehensive guide to common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for musculoskeletal imaging.

It contains information on the most commonly-performed procedures in musculoskeletal radiology and describes new procedures.

Topics covered include fluoroscopically-guided sacroiliac joint aspiration, and detailed descriptions of percutaneous biopsies, myelography, discography, facet and nerve root blocks and epidurals.

These procedures and their indications are also evaluated and revised in the light of advances in technology, such as the inclusion of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal abnormalities.
