Imaging of the Hip & Bony Pelvis - Techniques and Applications

This volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of imaging of the hip. In the first part of the book, the various techniques employed when imaging the hip are discussed in detail. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, computed tomography, ultrasound and MRI. The second part then documents the application of these techniques to the diverse application and diseases encountered in the hip. Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental abnormalities, trauma, metabolic bone disease, infection, arthritis and tumours.  Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field and a wealth of illustrative material is included.
