This second edition of "Radiology of Osteoporosis" has been fully updated so as to represent the current state of the art. It provides a comprehensive overview of osteoporosis, the pathologic conditions that give rise to osteoporosis, and the complications that are frequently encountered. After initial chapters devoted to pathophysiology, the presentation of osteoporosis
on conventional radiographs is illustrated and discussed. Thereafter,
detailed consideration is given to each of the measurement methods
employed to evaluate osteoporosis,
including dual x-ray absorptiometry, vertebral morphometry, spinal and
peripheral quantitative computed tomography, quantitative ultrasound,
and magnetic resonance imaging.
The role of densitometry in daily clinical practice is appraised.
Finally, a collection of difficult cases involving pitfalls is
presented, with guidance to their solution. The information contained
in this volume will be invaluable to all with an interest in osteoporosis.
