The cases are heavily illustrated with nearly 600 high-resolution MRI images, as well as complementary plain films, scintigrams, and CT scans. Each case outlines the clinical history, findings, and differential diagnosis. Clinical pearls, questions and answers, and concluding summaries are also included. An orthopedic surgeon provides clinical commentary where appropriate to share the insight gained from sports medicine.

Pediatric and Adolescent Musculoskeletal MRI: A Case-Based Approach is a user-friendly resource that covers more than a hundred MRI cases of commonly encountered and unusual pediatric conditions, including the rapidly growing area of sports injuries in older children and adolescents. Each case is presented as an unknown, and the progression from initial findings to diagnosis, discussion, illustrated differential considerations, and orthopedic perspectives make this book ideal for self-education. With nearly a thousand images to complement clear, concise text, this reference is a unique and useful tool for all physicians involved in the musculoskeletal imaging and diagnosis of pediatric and adolescent patients. The book is authored by J. Herman Kan, MD, of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine/Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, and Paul K. Kleinman, MD, of Harvard Medical School/Children’s Hospital Boston.
