This book/CD-ROM text for physical therapists, rehabilitation clinicians, and other non-radiologists explains how to interpret imaging studies and understand written reports of musculoskeletal imaging. This third edition contains new chapters on CT, MRI, ultrasound, and the chest radiograph and cardiopulmonary imaging, with about 100 new CT and MRI images of normal and pathological anatomy. Examples of routine b&w radiographic evaluations are presented for each joint in the body and every region of the spine, accompanied by illustrations and photos revealing the anatomic and spatial relationships of each radiograph. Corresponding CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound images illustrate related sectional anatomy. Learning features include chapter case studies, key points, and self-tests. The CD-ROM contains updated ACR Appropriateness Criteria for 160 musculoskeletal conditions, plus three different types of interactive exercises for each chapter. A companion web site contains an interactive glossary, and seven detailed case studies. McKinnis is affiliated with St. Francis University.

Author Lynn McKinnis, the 2009 winner of APTAs Helen J. Hislop Award for Outstanding Contributions to Professional Literature, presents a straightforward, logical approach to medical imaging for physical therapists.
After introductory chapters on basic radiology, a chapter on how to evaluate radiographs and chapters on advanced medical imaging, the text is organized by anatomic regions and then by joints.
At the heart of each anatomic chapter is a complete set of normal, routine radiographs that include tracings and point-by-point teaching observations. Each chapter ends with a discussion and offers imaging examples for commonly seen traumas and pathologies. The accompanying CD-ROM features exercises that reinforce the content in the text and help you to identify and recognize anatomy and pathologies.
