Product Description
Using 1,298 full-color anatomic drawings and 230 3-Tesla MR normal anatomy images, this atlas provides a detailed view of the intricacies of musculoskeletal anatomy. Dr. Stoller, through extensive cadaver dissections and imaging, has developed and proven new concepts on many musculoskeletal injuries, including hip impingement and patterns of meniscal tears. In this atlas, he provides radiologists, orthopaedists, and other specialists with the anatomic knowledge needed to accurately diagnose musculoskeletal injuries. Muscles are shown in great detail, including origins and insertions. Skeletal structures are shown in relation to muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments. Clear legends describe the function and directional movement of muscles. Illustrations show both normal anatomy and mechanisms of injury, and Pearls and Pitfalls sections reinforce critical information.

 One orthopedic PA's opinion
I have really enjoyed looking through this book. It has great illustrations for all the muscles in the body and I really appreciate the grouping of muscles by innervation. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find the added discussions on various orthopedic conditions. This is a convenient addition to an atlas. My only complaint is the skeleton itself is never focused on in the atlas portion. In retrospect, this makes sense as it is written by an expert on MRI. Still, I've already used it numerous times in my practice.

 Sorely needed schematic atlas
Wow. This is an excellent investment for MSK radiologists. This book is a schematic atlas of anatomy and pathology. There are some basic MRI images for anatomy at the beginning of the tome, but by and large, this is all illustrations. This has beautiful LARGE format illustrations of practically everything you could every imagine in MSK imaging. In particular, the detailed anatomy of the small parts (fingers/hand, forefoot, toes) is excellent. The section on meniscal tears is really gorgeous. Also, each joint (at the beginning) has the depiction of color coded nerve anatomy (life saver). Also, there's kind of a cool like section at the beginning that are thumbnails of all of the major processes/entities in a particular joint. Very, very easy as a quick reference.
At first, I thought it was just the images from the 2 volume text, but it looks like more than 1/2 of the images are new. Which says a lot, given the huge numbers of images/schematics/illustrations in this book and the revised "red book". Of those that are duplicates, I like the ones in this book better (larger, better color tone, etc). This is just a very well finished appearance. Obviously the publisher cared about the quality of the finished print product (so rare these days).
At first the very large size and format of the book and images might startle you. But, after getting used to it, you'll wonder why more text books don't have better images like these. Dr. Stoller has done it once again. Kudos ...
What's next? 3T MR atlas?

Great complement to the two volume. ( lchen_mail )
The knowledge of David Stoller and the art work of Salvador Beltran make this book a must have for orthopedic imaging.
