This book is a light weight companion with a general guide to ahdn surgery. It’s for those in particular with a sub-specialist interest as a quick reerence. As with the rest of the series it’s lightweight and portable. On the downside there are relatively few pictures and the print is relatively small. The occasionally, slightly one sided views of the authors are expressed, althought they are not an unreasonable starting point. Have no hesitancy in recommending it!

Diseases of the joints and surrounding tissues cannot be visualised without the help of imaging techniques. These range from x-rays (which have been available for over 100 years) to the highly sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging scanning. The variety of imaging techniques and indeed the quality of these images has improved radically in the past decade and this book attempts to capture the way in which rheumatologists and their colleagues can use a wide variety of techniques to analyse musculoskeletal diseases which are known to exist.
excellent reference, well organized with countless bits of great information.
