Publisher's Synopsis
WHO, in collaboration with the International Commission for Radiologic Education (ICRE) of the International Society of Radiology (ISR) and the other members of the Global Steering Group for Education and Training in Diagnostic Imaging, has created a series of "Manuals of Diagnostic Imaging". The full series primarily covers the examination techniques and interpretation of conventional diagnostic X-ray procedures. These manuals should replace and update the WHO "Manual of Radiographic Interpretation for General Practitioners" and the "WHO Manual of Radiographic Technique".;This volume provides an exhaustive description of radiographic normal anatomy as well as pathologic changes most frequently seen in the musculoskeletal system, including trauma, infections in bone and joints, metabolic, endocrine, and toxic disorders, tumours, congenital and developmental disorders.;Backed by high-quality reproduction of radiographs, this manual should prove useful reading to general practitioners, medical specialists, radiographers and radiologists in any medical setting, although focusing on needs in small and mid-size hospitals.
