MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease. Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists.

This issue provides an overview of anatomy for the practicing radiologist using MR. Neuroanatomy is covered in separate articles on the brain, neck, spine, and skull base. Body imaging is reviewed in articles on chest, abdomen, breast, and pelvis, and finally, the musculoskeletal system is thoroughly displayed by articles on shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, knee, and ankle and foot. Long bones of the upper and lower extremities are reviewed in separate articles as well.

In this issue, guest editors bring their considerable expertise to this important topic. Contains 12 practice-oriented topics covering the MRI-US correlation in imaging of muscle disorders; painful shoulder conditions; wrist and finger injuries; acute and chronic elbow disorders; ankle injuries and overuse syndromes; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on musculoskeletal MRI-ultrasound correlation, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

This issue of MRI Clinics of North America focuses on MR in the Emergency Room. Articles will include: MR Imaging of Stroke; MR Imaging of Acute Head and Neck Infections; Use of MR in the Evaluation of Cranial Trauma; MR of Spinal Emergencies; Emergency MR Imaging of Musculoskeletal Trauma; Use of MR in Non-traumatic Musculoskeletal Emergencies; MR Imaging of Abdominal Pain in Pregnancy; MR of Pelvic and Gastrointestinal Emergencies; Use of MR in Pediatric Emergencies; Use of MR in Pancreatico-Biliary Emergencies; and more!

Presents over 90 musculoskeletal conditions which can commonly cause confusion and mismanagement in daily radiological practice.
