Diagnostic Joint Imaging in Rheumatology presents a practical and comprehensive approach that provides a robust framework for review and interpretation of joint imaging studies. This resource is organized by anatomic region affected - different from current books in the market organized by disease. This approach of addressing each individual region is more valuable to learners, who will be prompted to consult this reference after being presented with patients who have symptoms affecting specific anatomic regions. Patients present with pain/stiffness in affected joints/regions and not with established diagnoses. A high proportion of patients presenting to primary care practitioners, including internists, have symptoms based in musculoskeletal disease. An even higher proportion of patients presenting to rheumatologists have symptoms and signs of musculoskeletal disorders. These patients need to be assessed for joint diseases, and in addition to ‘standard’ data collection, diagnostic imaging is often an integral element of the evaluation. Trainees, internists and rheumatologists will benefit from the convenient access to this reference source that clearly delineates the scenarios in which joint imaging could aid in making a diagnosis, which imaging modalities to request, the sensitivity and specificity of the imaging test for each type of joint disease, most importantly - how to make their own assessment of the imaging, and when to request help from a musculoskeletal radiologist.

Dr. Girish Gandikota is Associate Professor of Radiology and Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan specializing in Musculoskeletal Radiology. He received his MBBS from Stanley Medical College, Chennai India, and did his postgraduate training in the UK where he obtained board certifications in surgery (FRCS) and Radiology (FRCR). He completed a fellowship in Musculoskeletal Radiology at the McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Following fellowship, he joined the University of Michigan as a lecturer. He received American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification, obtained ultrasound RMSK certification from ARDMS, and is the Vice-Chair of the Assessment Oversight Team (AOT) RMSK-ARDMS appointed for the musculoskeletal physician examination. Research interests include MSK ultrasound, sports medicine and arthritis. He is a co-investigator on a NIH RO1 grant on arthritis. As an associate director of the residency program, he has an interest in teaching and discovering more effective teaching techniques in a digital environment. Dr. Rory M. Marks is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Rheumatology and Program Director for Rheumatology training. He received his undergraduate and graduate medical education at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia; trained in Internal Medicine, Clinical Immunology and Pathology; and was a post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Pathology at the University of Michigan before his appointment in the Division of Rheumatology. He is Board certified in Rheumatology and maintains his original certification in Clinical Immunology and in Pathology. Dr. Marks maintains a strong interest in clinical care and fellow education, including an interest in the teaching and quantitative evaluation of the Core competencies.
