This book continues the tradition of the internationally renowned work by Grashey-Birkner and is considered a standard reference on this topic. The focus of the book is on the detailed representations of the varieties. Additionally, the child's skeleton holds a special significance in the X-ray presentation. The classic by Prof. Rudolf Birkner showcases typical X-ray images of the skeleton in standard findings and varieties – for both adults and children. This timeless foundational work is offered in its 4th unchanged edition, which includes: fundamentals of radiation physics, positioning and imaging techniques, comparisons of X-ray anatomy (schematics and drawings) to X-ray images, sources of error and varieties for all anatomical regions, as well as more than 1,200 illustrations, over 800 of which are X-ray images in original size.
