Strategic Radiographic positioning: For Orthopaedicians & Radiologists
About the Book
Radiographic examination of musculoskeletal problems is an extremely crucial component of orthopaedic practice. Proper positioning of the patient is necessary to obtain the best radiographic view. However, quite often, the relevant positioning details elude the memory of a busy orthopaedecian and a good opportunity to clinch a diagnosis gets lost.
This book is oriented towards the orthopaedic surgeon's plain radiographic requirements and provides a ready solution that may be used by both the radiologist and the orthopaedician.
Each view described has been carefully evaluated and a brief discussion of its realistic clinical usefulness, advantages and disadvantages has been provided. This makes the book more valuable than just a positioning manual.
