With the ever-increasing demand on physical therapists to develop the most effective treatment interventions comes this invaluable imaging resource covering exactly what you need to know! Diagnostic Imaging for Physical Therapists gives you the knowledge to understand the basic principles of musculoskeletal imaging and how to interpret radiographic images in your physical therapy practice. This straightforward, highly illustrated text is organized by body region and covers all the fundamentals with an emphasis on standard, two-dimensional x-rays. An accompanying DVD delivers high-resolution copies of the images in the text along with interactive activities to enhance your understanding of the material. With this indispensable text, you’ll recognize when diagnostic imaging is necessary, and you’ll be able to interpret the results with confidence.Written specifically for PTs, this book covers the most common film images you will see in your practice and introduces you to some of the not-so-common images.UNIQUE companion DVD helps you hone your diagnostic imaging skills with high-resolution radiographic images and animations. DVD icons in the book direct you to interactive exercises including ABCs, pathologies, case studies, and quizzes that will enhance your understanding of concepts in the text. Provides you with a “systematic” basis for approaching the interpretation of standard films. The body system approach of the chapters makes it easy to find information specific to a body region. Text edited by highly respected experts in musculoskeletal rehabilitation gives you authoritative guidance on the management of musculoskeletal pathology and injury.

As a PT student new to imaging I found this book difficult to follow. On multiple occasions photos of a fracture would be accompanied by the caption "clearly shows" or "clearly demonstrates" however most photos were clearly lacking labels, arrows or an effective side by side comparison so that one might see the pathology. For each condition noted in the book I had to find online images to see a much clearer version of what the authors were referring to. Also, the sections of the book were somewhat scattered, further adding to the frustration. This book obscures rather than elucidates difficult concepts such as the physics underlying MRIs.
This book does the job, but I'm pretty sure they accidentally published the rough draft of this book. It is in dire need of editing and revision. Some images are printed twice with the exact same caption. There are topic headings with no content following the headings. The writing and organization are inconsistent. There are redundant and poorly-composed sentences. It dumbfounds me that this book actually got published. It reflects poorly on the authors and the publisher, and as a student it frustrates me to have to use this as a learning tool. However, it is possible to muddle through the egregious errors and learn the things I need to know about imaging, so it's not an entirely lost cause.
This is a very good, understandable text that gives rehabilitation professionals an excellent introduction to the world of diagnostic imaging. The DVD that accompanies the book is the very best I have ever seen and greatly improved my understanding of reading x-ray films. This publication is a real winner!
This is a good book for readers trying to learn the basics of Imaging. It basically, has a chapter on each body area and the common imaging procedures, views, and injuries. It deals mostly with radiographs, but does have a section on MRI, and to a lesser extent discusses other tests such as bone scan, etc. There is an accompanying DVD that has multiple images to view for pracice and learning points. Overall, it is a very useful and educational.
The book is in excellent condition! Thumbs upðð¼
Very good one
So so
OK
