Description

**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Diagnostic Radiology**

Distilling all of the most important content from Dr. Donald L. Resnick's highly esteemed, five-volume Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Disorders into a single, concise source, Bone and Joint Imaging, 4th Edition focuses on the specific, state-of-the-art musculoskeletal imaging and interpretation knowledge practitioners need today. This highly anticipated new edition has been fully revised from cover to cover for a remarkably thorough, yet focused and pragmatic, source of clinical guidance. Dr. Resnick’s carefully chosen editorial team, Drs. Jon A. Jacobson, Christine B. Chung, Mini N. Pathria (all former Resnick fellows) and Mark J. Kransdorf (co-author of the previous edition), are well-equipped to expertly address the many recent changes in musculoskeletal radiology since the previous edition. Authoritative, easy-to-read text and more than 3,800 exquisite images demonstrate every principle and capture the characteristic presentation of the wide range of disorders you’re most likely to encounter in everyday practice.

Key features

  • Features a newly revised, streamlined organization with easy-to-digest sections on infection; trauma; osteoarticular, nerve, and muscle derangements; arthropathy; systemic diseases (metabolic, endocrine, hematologic, and connective tissue); tumors; interventional radiology; post-operative radiology; and pediatric imaging
  • Provides more than 2,100 outstanding images (1,300 are new) that depict important concepts, techniques, and findings in musculoskeletal imaging
  • Discusses the full range of diagnostic modalities, including advanced imaging methods and techniques and expanded content on MRI and ultrasound
  • Covers key introductory material on basic science, diagnostic techniques, imaging, and interventional procedures
  • A highly efficient review source for residency and radiology board examinations, as well as an indispensable reference for clinical practice

Review quotes

"...widely recognised as one of the most authoritative references in MSK radiology.... One of the book’s major strengths is its thoroughness.... The chapters delve into the pathology, epidemiology and clinical presentation of various conditions, before discussing the imaging modalities best suited for diagnosis. This structured approach makes the text easy to navigate and assimilate and provides readers with a well grounded understanding of the relevant pathophysiology and how these relate to the imaging features. [It] is up to date in terms of pathology and imaging techniques, including conventional radiography, CT, MRI, ultrasound and nuclear medicine, which help ensure that it is relevant in a wide range of clinical settings, including for orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists and physiotherapists, as well as radiologists.... Overall, this book remains a cornerstone of MSK radiology literature. Its comprehensive coverage, coupled with high quality imagery and up-to-date content, makes it an indispensable tool for anyone involved in the imaging of bone and joint disorders." — Dr David Maudgil, Consultant Radiologist, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Surrey, RAD Magazine, July 2025

"A must as an inclusive reference text for all radiologists and other physicians who are actively involved in the interpretation of the imaging studies of patients who have musculoskeletal disorders." --Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery

"Second to none as a succinct yet sufficiently comprehensive book on musculoskeletal imaging...It has earned the right to rest on the bookshelves of every radiology resident, general radiologist, and aspiring bone radiologist." --Radiology

"Mandatory reading for all diagnostic radiology residents....An invaluable reference for any other physician who regularly deals with musculoskeletal disorders." --American Journal of Roentgenology

"It is a pleasure to read a textbook, written by authors with selected contributors, who have not only an in-depth knowledge of the subject, but also who have personally contributed a significant portion of medical literature on the topic... a true authoritative book.

This book succeeds in presenting the essential content of muskuloskeletal imaging in a form manageable for its readers and can, as the authors hope, be read not only as a book to be initially read in its entirety but available for ready consultation in the reading room of radiologists, but also for anyone involved both in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. This book is a must for all in this field." --Journal of Clinical Imaging, 2005

"It serves as a review source for radiology examinations and as a reference tool for clinical practice." --Biophotonics International, October 2005
