The first complete textbook and atlas of the vitally important
technique of bone age assessment utilizing MRI for children's hand
and wrist

This latest volume in the growing Wiley Current Clinical Imaging
series is a must-have resource that collects, in a single volume,
all that is currently known and applicable about the use of
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of bone
age.

Presented in two parts, Text-Atlas of Skeletal Age
Determination: MRI of the Hand and Wrist in Children first
focuses on the anatomic, social, and legal aspects of bone age,
providing a concise overview of the use of bone age determination
in medical, legal, and social systems.??It then covers the clinical
use and application of MRI in assessing bone age. The book offers
complete chapter coverage on endocrinology, puberty, and disorders
of pubertal development; bone marrow maturation in healthy and
diseased states; growth failure and pediatric inflammatory bowel
disease; skeletal findings in neurometabolic disease, genetic
disease, and pediatric oncology patients; and much more.

Text-Atlas of Skeletal Age Determination provides:

* A comprehensive review of the medical, legal, and social
aspects of bone age assessment

* An in-depth discussion of MRI as an alternative to the
traditional ionizing radiation-based radiographic techniques for
the assessment of bone age

* Complete guidelines for clinical application of these MRI-based
techniques

* "Recipes" for replicating these techniques and applications for
diverse patient populations

* Cutting-edge information prepared and presented by an
international team of experts

* A superb collection of beautifully reproduced, high-quality
images

This is an ideal book for radiologists, pediatricians, family
physicians, endocrinologists, and sports medicine physicians
interested in skeletal development and bone age assessment.

He was a visiting lecturer in 1988-89 in the Department of Radiology at the University of California San Francisco (USA), as well as in the Department of Radiology at the University of Berlin (Klinikum Charlottenburg). He is an international leader in the emerging use of MRI for bone age assessment, and is currently engaged in a major project on this topic, which is co-financed by the European Union and the Italian Ministry of the Interior. He is also heavily involved in teaching residents specializing in Internal Medicine and Radiology and is an associate editor or reviewer for several European radiology and internal medicine journals. Richard C. Semelka, MD, is one of the foremost authorities on MRI of the abdomen and pelvis, with six MRI text-books and over 200 peer-reviewed papers to his credit. Dr. Semelka has also authored numerous chapters and review articles on MRI of the body, and has presented his work at meetings around the world. Dr. Semelka is the Director of MR Services, Professor and Vice Chair for Research, Department of Radiology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Daniel Nissman, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. He is primarily a musculoskeletal radiologist with experience in bone age assessment using both ionizing and non-ionizing radiologic modalities.
