The new Second Edition of this popular and widely used pocket atlas depicts the anatomy of extracranial organs as seen on state-of-the-art magnetic resonance (MR) images. The book presents 96 MR images of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, thigh, knee, calf, foot and ankle, shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, and hand and wrist. The images are displayed in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Anatomic features are labeled on each image using numbers with legends at the top of the page, and each image is accompanied by a line drawing demonstrating the level and plane of section.Most images were obtained using spin-echo sequences; however, other sequences are also used. The sequence used is indicated for each anatomic section. Slice thicknesses vary with anatomic location: thin sections in articular regions and thicker sections in the abdomen, chest, and other extra-articular locations.

This pocket atlas is a handy guide to musculoskeletal anatomy as seen on magnetic resonance images. Prepared by a recognized expert in musculoskeletal MRI, the book presents 98 MR images of the shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, hand and wrist, pelvis and hips, thigh, knee, calf, and foot and ankle. The images are displayed in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes, enabling readers to thoroughly familiarize themselves with sagittal and coronal anatomy as it applies to routine MRI practice. Anatomic features are labeled on each image using numbers with legends at the top of the page, and each image is accompanied by a line drawing demonstrating the level and plane of section.Most images were obtained using spin-echo sequences, typically T1-weighted or proton-density sequences. Slice thickness varies depending on location: thinner sections in the joints, and thicker sections in extra-articular regions.
