Interpreting X-ray images correctly is essential for diagnostic radiographers, as well as a widely used skill for emergency department doctors, nurse practitioners, and many other healthcare professions. This new title provides a systematic, methodical approach to musculoskeletal image interpretation and its role in the evaluation and treatment of injury.

A companion to the eighth edition of Bones and Joints, this book covers the basic principles for interpreting images and then follows a simple regional approach to common radiographic projections. It goes on to consider common and important fracture patterns and other injuries related to that region, as well as the differences between normal and abnormal images.

According to the American Journal of Radiology, proper interpretation of X-ray images has been shown to lead to more accurate diagnoses and improved patient outcomes in orthopedic cases. This makes Image Interpretation an essential learning guide for undergraduates, those transitioning to graduate roles or clinical practice, and other healthcare professionals looking to enhance their training.
