This open access book focuses on imaging of the musculoskeletal diseases. Over the last few years, there have been considerable advances in this area, driven by clinical as well as technological developments. The authors are all internationally renowned experts in their field. They are also excellent teachers, and provide didactically outstanding chapters. The book is disease-oriented and covers all relevant imaging modalities, with particular emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging. Important aspects of pediatric imaging are also included. IDKD books are completely re-written every four years. As a result, they offer a comprehensive review of the state of the art in imaging. The book is clearly structured with learning objectives, abstracts, subheadings, tables and take-home points, supported by design elements to help readers easily navigate through the text. As an IDKD book, it is particularly valuable for general radiologists, radiology residents, and interventional radiologists who want to update their diagnostic knowledge, and for clinicians interested in imaging as it relates to their specialty.

During the past decade, the prognosis of bone and soft tissue tumors has improved considerably. This progress has not only been due to improved therapeutics and diagnostic methods but also due to a team approach now universally adopted. Comparison of results, possible today, were hampered in the past by lack of a clinically relevant staging system and definitive treatment proto cols. The complexity of the therapeutic management of bone tumors re quires a constant exposure to tumors, highly skilled diagnostic tech niques, and specialized expertise. It is therefore not surprising to learn that small and medium-sized hospitals embarking on the diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors are generally less success ful than better equipped major centers. This fact has already been recognized by most physicians and surgeons who now refer their patients to specialized oncologic centers. Nevertheless, they all have to know the present state of the art. This symposium was therefore mostly addressed to them. This international symposium, organized by the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Ottawa, and cosponsored by the Association des Chirurgiens Orthopedistes du Quebec, was held in Ottawa from May 12-14, 1983. Each of the 40 presentations clearly demonstrates that disregard for proper staging before initiation of treatment and omission of a clearly defined treatment protocol is definitely unacceptable in view of the knowledge we have acquired.

The American Joint Committee on Cancer's Cancer Staging Manual is used by physicians throughout the world to diagnose cancer and determine the extent to which cancer has progressed. All of the TNM staging information included in this Sixth Edition is uniform between the AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) and the UICC (International Union Against Cancer). In addition to the information found in the Handbook, the Manual provides standardized data forms for each anatomic site, which can be utilized as permanent patient records, enabling clinicians and cancer research scientists to maintain consistency in evaluating the efficacy of diagnosis and treatment. The CD-ROM packaged with each Manual contains printable copies of each of the book’s 45 Staging Forms.

A systematic treatise of tumors and tumor-like lesions occurring in bone and soft tissues. The introductory chapter presents the terminology, the basic principles for classification and diagnosis, the general principles of imaging, biopsy and histology, the staging system and evaluation of the surgical margins, the general principles of curettage, local adjuvants, en bloc resection and reconstruction, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Each pathologic entity is described according to its epidemiology, localization, symptoms, imaging, gross pathology, histopathology, histogenesis and pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, course and stage, treatment and prognosis.

This book is the second in a two-volume set that offers comprehensive guidance on the diagnosis of bone tumors based on a modification of the WHO classification as well as management and follow-up. The emphasis throughout is on an integrated approach to diagnosis that highlights the role of clinical, radiologic, and pathologic correlation in reducing the possibility of diagnostic error. The diagnosis of bone tumors is difficult for a variety of reasons, including the numerous types of the tumors with variable subtypes, the protean radiologic manifestations and the variable pathologic findings case by case and even depending on the phase in each case, the presence of reactive changes to the tumor lesion, and overlapping findings between benign and malignant tumors. In addition, it is often more difficult by surgeon’s inadequate biopsy. The author’s aim is to offer the readers the best possible guidance in negotiating these difficulties. For each tumor types, a wide range of cases are presented, from the common to the very rare. Appearances on the full range of imaging studies are illustrated, including conventional radiographs, bone scans, CT scan, MRI, and even PET/CT scans in malignant cases. Attention is also drawn to the role of long-term follow-up radiographs in ensuring correct diagnosis and management. This book will be an ideal resource for all practitioners and researchers who involved in bone tumor diagnosis and also management. Volume 2 covers osteoclastic giant cell-rich tumors, hematopoietic tumors, notochordal tumors, cysts and cyst-like lesions, vascular and neurogenic tumors, and tumors of other mesenchymal cells.

Detection and characterization of bone tumors with imaging remains a big challenge for every radiologist notwithstanding the impressive progress achieved by the introduction of several new imaging modalities. Moreover, new concepts in surgical and oncological treatment of these lesions require from the radiologist appropriate and focused answers to the specifc questions asked by the referring physicians in order to choose the best therapeutic approach for the in- vidual patient. Tis comprehensive textbook describes in detail the possibilities and limits of all moda- ties, including MRI, CT, nuclear medicine and interventional radiological procedures, employed for the modern imaging of tumoral and tumor-like lesions of bone. Teir role in the diagnosis, surgical staging, biopsy and assessment of response to therapy is discussed in detail, covering all tumor subtypes as well as their specifc anatomical location.Well selected and technically imp- cable illustrations strongly enhance the didactic value of this work. I am very much indebted and grateful to the three editors: A. Mark Davies, Murali Sundaram and Steven L. J. James, world authorities in musculoskeletal radiology, for their superb scientifc achievement in preparing and editing this wonderful volume as well as for their individual ch- ters. I would also like to thank the large international group of collaborating authors, who are also widely acknowledged for their specifc expertise in the area of bone tumors, for their outstanding contributions.
