Editorial Reviews for Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging (Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation)
|
Once considered the domain of the physician, the field of radiology, and the patient information that could be obtained from an understanding of it, is now becoming more widely recognized as pertinent to the health professional's practice. Written for the non-radiologist, Lynn McKinnis's text grounds both students and practicing clinicians in the basic principles of imaging, radiographic evaluation of both normal and pathologic bone, and fractures. The author uses a systems approach, organizing chapters by major regions of human anatomy to providing reference points when viewing patient films.

Summary: Good text overall,but...
Comment: The textbook has several nice introductory chapters on imaging basic science, reading principles (for x-rays), and the role of physical therapists with imaging practice. the x-rays are of good quality and size and the schematic labels are pretty thorough. The CD is a nice adjunct for active learning, however, it is a bit limited in structures to label and # of views to test yourself on.
As an educator, it would be very nice if the publisher would place the images, tables, figures on a CD for teachers to drop into powerpoint slides or have PDF documents of the chapters. Additionally, future editions may wish to include more views with x-ray imaging on the CD and include more images with pathology on the CD
One major limitation to this textbook is the lack of MR and CT images. The title "....Musculoskeletal Imaging" suggests a global approach. However, this text primarily contains x-ray images. If you're going to adopt as a textbook, you will need to supplement heavily using other textbooks and resources for the MR and CT images. If your class will include thorax and pelvis, you will definetely need another textbook or resource to cover those topics as these are not addressed with this text.
For textbook supplementation, I recommend anyone check out the following resources:
1) Orthopaedic Imaging a Practical Approach by Greenspan (nice mix of imaging types and labeling; excellent desk reference)
2) Clinical Imaging by Dennis Marchiori (excellent resource for extreme details of x-ray labeling, imaging of torso and pelvis, and nice chapters on normal variants in imaging by region)-this text is pretty heavy on x-ray also
3) Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine by David Stoller (the most thorough textbook on MR imaging I've seen to date)
4) Radiology 101 by William Erkonen (nice general overview text; contains neuroimaging and thorax and pelvis)

Summary: Musculoskeletal Imaging
Comment: I needed this book for a Radiology in Rehabilitation class and it came to me in great condition. I got a good price for it and it was still in its plastic when I received it about a week later. This book was well-needed and the seller did a timely job!

Summary: Review of Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging
Comment: The content is excellent. For the most part, the author does a nice job of presenting the material in an easily understood manner. I would have liked to see more information on normal views of each joint presented, including CT and MRI various views. A reference to a radiographic atlas may be helpful. I would have liked to see more arrows pointing to the part in question. The film may be labled ACL tear for example, but an arrow pointing exactly to where the tear is would be helpful for beginners like my self. More in depth information about fracture hardware and explanation of load sharing vs load bearing would have been nice. There are a number of typos and printing errors. The book lists answers to the chapter review questions but does not include some chapters. On more than one occasion, the book refers the reader back to a table or figure in a previous chapter but the table or figure does not end up being at all connected to why they referred you back.
