The revised second edition of Radiology of Osteoporosis has been fully updated to incorporate and analyze the current state of the art. It provides a comprehensive overview of osteoporosis, the pathologic conditions that give rise to osteoporosis, and frequently-encountered complications. Initial chapters are devoted to an overview of pathophysiology, followed by a thorough discussion and illustration of the presentation of osteoporosis on conventional radiographs. Detailed consideration is given to each of the measurement methods employed to evaluate osteoporosis, including dual x-ray absorptiometry, vertebral morphometry, spinal and peripheral quantitative computed tomography, quantitative ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. The role of densitometry in daily clinical practice is appraised. Finally, the book presents a collection of difficult cases, with particular attention to their pitfals, and expert guidance on avoiding misinterpretation. This volume will be invaluable to all with an interest in osteoporosis.
