Written by internationally renowned experts, this updated volume is a collection of chapters dealing with imaging diagnosis and interventional therapies in musculoskeletal diseases. The different topics are disease-oriented and encompass all the relevant imaging modalities including X-ray technology, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and magnetic resonance, as well as image-guided interventional techniques. This publication, including excellent radiologic images and color illustrations, will appeal not only to  radiologists, rheumatologists, orthopaedics surgeons, but also to clinicians in other specialties wishing to update their knowledge in this field.
