Overview

This title presents the radiological manifestations of the genetic skeletal dysplasias in the form of Gamut Lists. Its purpose is to act as an aid to differential diagnosis following the observation of abnormalities in bone radiographs. The first section of the book comprises gamut lists of generalised skeletal abnormalities. The second section takes a regional approach and in the third section, brief outlines and key references are provided for the heritable skeletal disorders listed in Sections 1 and 2. At appropriate places in the text pertinent comment is made concerning practical issues in radio-diagnosis of these conditions. An extensive index is provided. This new edition of the book has been extensively updated and expanded and provides the user with an accurate and effective diagnostic tool.
