Bourjat, P

This book deals with radiologic examination of the hand. After a study of the common variants of the normal condition, pathologic conditions caused by trauma, rheumatic illness and endocrine and metabolic disorders are shown, as are congenital malformations, tumors and infections. The book takes the form of a collection of radiodiagnostic exercises; each condition is presented separately with radiographic images and accompanying text which includes explanatory schematics. The purpose of the book is to develop the reader's capacity for interpretation of radiographs: it requires the reader to scrutinize each image, to identify the anomalies, to take due account of all its aspects and to attempt a diagnosis of the condition behind it.
