Radiographic Atlas of Skeletal Maturation

"The value of this atlas is to provide appropriate standards for the
maturing skeleton {that} will enhance accuracy and ease interpretation" – From
the Foreword by Theodore E. Keats, MD, Former Alumni Professor of Radiology,
University of Virginia Health Sciences Center

When dealing with the maturing skeleton and its many complex growth alterations, physicians are constantly faced with the question: "Is this image normal?" The Radiographic Atlas of Skeletal Maturation succinctly answers that question by providing a comprehensive set of male and female reference images for every age and body part. This allows physicians to quickly hone in on "normal" ranges for the specific case they are reviewing–particularly useful when called upon to read a pediatric skeletal radiograph in the emergency room or while on call.

Special Features:

Access to nearly 2,300 high-quality images that provide
instant reference to "normal" views of the skeleton at every developmental
milestone-available in both the text and accompanying DVD
Multiple projections at every age, sex, and body part
combination so that the user can match the reference points in the book to the
case at hand and arrive at a solid clinical interpretation
Practical text layout organized by gender and body part
that provides quick access to images of normal development at any given age
A software virtual "skeletal survey" demonstrates
images of younger and older individuals and crystallizes the subtle variations
in growth patterns
Powerful software package with advanced image
enhancement tools allows optimization of atlas image details for greater
clarity. Compatible with numerous image formats (including DICOM) allowing
viewing and editing of outside images
Convenient growth charts included in the book and
DVD

This unique resource, with its vast collection of print and DVD images of
normal progressive skeletal development, gives physicians the full range of
comparative information they need to interpret pediatric skeletal radiographs in
any clinical setting. It is the reference standard for radiologists,
pediatricians, orthopedists, emergency room physicians, internists,
rehabilitation physicians, and training physicians who are called upon to review
a pediatric radiograph and confidently make a diagnosis.
