This volume covers the broad spectrum of imaging methods and abnormalities of relevance in the diagnostic workup of the shoulder. In the first part of the book, individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography, computed tomography and CT arthrography, magnetic resonance imaging and MR arthrography, ultrasound and interventional procedures. Controversies regarding the use of the different imaging techniques are explained and discussed. The second part of the book then documents the application of these techniques to each of the clinical problems and diseases encountered in the shoulder. The authors are all experts in their field and include rising stars of musculoskeletal radiology. This well-illustrated book will assist the general and the musculoskeletal radiologist in planning, guiding and interpreting imaging studies. For the clinician it puts into perspective the role of the different imaging methods.
