Bone Densitometry In Clinical Practice: Application And Interpretation (Current Clinical Practice) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Bone densitometry (BD) is an extraordinary clinical tool. It provides a safe, non-invasive window to the skeleton. Through that window, a physician can obtain vital clinical information that enhances diagnosis and improves patient management. Further, much has changed in the last decade to make bone densitometry the especially fascinating field of medicine it is today, incorporating imaging, physics, quantitative analysis, statistics, and computer technology -- all applied in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis.No text details the state-of-the-art and value of densitometry better than Bone Densitometry in Clinical Practice: Applications and Interpretation, Third Edition. Written by renowned expert Sydney Lou Bonnick, MD, this edition improves remarkably on her highly regarded previous volumes, with a significant update and expansion of material. New chapters reflect densitometry’s growing applications as well as the evolving needs of the densitometrist. New material on radiation safety and assessment for secondary causes of bone fragility is included, and the text also incorporates material from the recent ISCD Position Development Conferences (PDC’s), both the 4th adult and the 1st pediatric. Moreover, an entire appendix devoted to the PDCs has been added, providing solutions to many unanswered questions concerning bone densitometry applications.Comprehensive and invaluable, Bone Densitometry in Clinical Practice: Application and Interpretation, Third Edition offers all primary care physicians and specialists the ideal reference for practicing state-of-the-art bone densitometry and caring for patients with, or at risk for, osteoporosis.

This book is a good reference as well as learning tool. It includes many glossy prints of actual bone density scans with descriptions and instructions for interpretation. It has a good section on identifying artifacts and evaluating the adequacy of the scans. There's not much description of secondary causes of osteoporosis but that information can be obtained elsewhere. In all, a good learning and reference book, esp. for physicians.
It certainly has all the information we need. It is VERY DRY, but maybe there just isn't a way to make this exciting.
This is the single most important resourse that any physician performing DEXA scans should have in his or her library. It is a reference used frequently and is a great review of the state of the art of bone density. Two copies are useful, if the first is misplaced. A must read for physicians starting the bone densitometry business.
This Kindle is of the first edition of the book, not the current edition. For those interested in the latest information, get the book that is current, maybe a collector prefers 1st edition of books. What I don't understand is why they made the Kindle version the old edition??? I admit, I did not read all the details, if you do it is noted that this is the first edition. Too bad, it would have been a useful download otherwise.
I am in the process of reading this book now, and it seems quite good, but I wanted to get this piece of info out there to others. Another review indicated the CME has expired. This person was referring to a prior edition. For the third edition (and I have confirmed this by email with the Foundation for Osteoporosis and Education in Oakland, CA)30 hrs. of CME is available until Sept. 1, 2012.
