Nearly two decades have passed since the prior edition of this text, Bone and Joint Imaging, Th ird Edition. With that in mind, we are excited to present the Fourth Edition, knowing that the time is right to again gather in one volume the considerable information that allows accurate assessment of a variety of imaging methods applied to the analysis of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Once again, there has been rapid growth in the scope of musculoskeletal imaging, not so much in terms of new or changing disease processes but rather, in the manner in which the many advanced imaging methods are being applied. In this edition, there is a new emphasis on MR imaging and, especially, ultra-sonography, without sacrif i cing the signif i cant information provided by conventional radiography and CT scanning.
The organization of this work follows that in the Th ird Edition, with some changes. The material related to basic science and diagnostic imaging techniques, which appeared in early chapters in the previous work, can now be found throughout the book in each of the individual chapters. Also, the first three sections of the current edition relate to traumatic, articular, and infectious disorders, topics deserving early attention, as they are generally encountered most frequently in clini-cal practice. Subsequently, nine other sections can be found, covering almost all categories of disease that af f ect bones, joints, and sof t tissues.
In each of the chapters, an initial Summary of Key Features is followed by several Key Concepts boxes in which the most important informa-tion is provided in bullet format. At the end of each chapter, as before, a short list of references can be found.
