The book provides comprehensive information on all relevant settings in skeletal radiology. All essential factors are presented briefly and concisely, including indications, positioning, imaging details, and assessment criteria. Supplementary chapters on radiation protection, digital image processing, materials, and tools complete the work. For this 5th edition, the book has been thoroughly revised in collaboration with radiologists and an anatomist. The proven concept of describing each setting in words and images on a double page has been retained. Key phrases and image descriptions facilitate quick information "at a glance." A new feature is a detailed representation of the radiographic anatomy of the entire skeleton, with appropriate labeling of many of the over 200 X-ray images. Suggestions for meaningful combinations are also included.
