I know that high quality versions of the second edition exist. However, the version that sent me is printed on cheap paper (that you can see through) and with low-quality images. The content is great, but to think that a radiologist could use the pictures for reference is laughable. For $120 I would expect better resolution.I have checked out this book from my library and I know that "normal" quality versions exist.
This is an excellent book. It covers the most frequent (and not so frequent) MSK pathology imaging in a smooth, simple and yet quite complete way. It may be too 'basic' for a MSK radiologist but it's perfect to have a general view during the residence and probably for the general radiologist as well. I believe every resident should have this one, particularly if they prefer less bulky and more 'to the point' writing, like myself.
Let me begin by saying the information in this book is excellent and it is very well written. I partially read a copy from my institution’s library and decided to buy my own. Unfortunately, the currently available production run has very poor print quality with thin paper resulting in images showing through the pages. Older versions had thick glossy paper, which should be standard for any imaging textbook. The thin paper also results in poor image contrast, which really degrades the quality of the images in the book. Also, many of the images now have streak artifacts through them compared to the older version. Despite exchanging the book, these problems persisted, which seems to indicate a production issue. I would hold off on buying until the print quality is improved.
I use this book every day in my practice to review common musculoskeletal abnormalities. It is not a comprehensive review, but it is great at what it's intended to be: a readable, digestible review of basic MSK MRI.
Excellent intermediate level book for MSK MR. Covers all the major topics needed for boards & practical day-to-day work. Like all texts, you have to supplement with recent research articles to go more in-depth if you intend to specialize in this area.
The author's have a way of teaching 'work' radiology instead of academic radiology. Chapters are beautifully and succintly written according to how one would actually protocol, interpret and report, with clear statements of when their writing is based on their experience instead of published data, thus lending a refreshing breath of honesty and a feel of learning from the masters. Pictures are accurately labelled and closely follow the text, reinforcing what is being taught. Highly recommended by my consultants, I highly recommend this to all who wish to learn MSK MRI.
For your first time experience with ortho mri this book is a must. There is text which is great at explaining the 'why' but also summarized tables for your second read when you're just flying through.
This book is great for residents wanting to get a better understanding for MSK MRI, even though it is a bit too detailed for those not wanting to master MSK.Good chapters, to the point, and great pictures.
