Imaging of the foot and ankle : techniques and applications (Second edition)

This up-to-date and comprehensive book on imaging of the foot and ankle provides a detailed description of the techniques and imaging findings relevant to this small region of complex anatomy.

This book is an entirely revised second edition of the ‘Imaging of the Foot & Ankle’ published in 2003.

It offers an updated comprehensive review of imaging and pathologies of the foot and ankle.

The various techniques and procedures employed when imaging the foot and ankle are discussed in detail in the book.

Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and intra-articular injections.

The second part of the book documents applying these techniques to the diverse clinical problems and diseases encountered in this anatomical region.

Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental disorders, impingement, ankle pain (medial, lateral, posterior, and anterior), heel pain, metatarsalgia (big toeand lesser), stress fractures, postoperative imaging, and tumours and tumour-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 musculoskeletal and general radiologists and orthopedic surgeons.
