MRI of the Wrist
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-63972-2 (ISBN)
This book presents one of the most extensive MRI image collections of wrist pathology, including common, less frequent, unusual and combined pathology to enhance the common knowledge of radiologists and wrist surgeons to an expert level. Additionally, the comprehensive overview allows the reader to compare MRI exams in the clinic to the provided extensive database and helps with diagnostic and clinical solutions. The currently available basic theoretical information can already be found in many other publications, and will be limited to the essentials that are needed to explain and/or understand the MR images. This book goes beyond the basic information and aims to provide a unique guide for a wide range of wrist pathologies. In addition, rather difficult test images are added at the end in order to encourage the reader to closely observe and analyse key details in the images.
Prof. Dr. Marc Mespreuve, radiologist, was teaching wrist anatomy and pathology at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Ghent, Belgium since more than a decade and has more than 35 years of specific experience in a private hospital (St. Maarten Hospital of Mechelen, Belgium) and a private practice. His PhD dissertation was also dedicated to the wrist. Many original papers concerning the wrist were published in numerous international journals, several of which were realized in close cooperation with the co-author. His experience as legal expert allowed him to consult extensive archives of many complicated cases in cooperation with many different hand surgeons. During his interactive teaching sessions and lectures at different universities feed back and critical comments from students, radiologists and clinicians added to his expertise in the field. He examined more than 5.000 wrists with MRI in close cooperation with orthopaedic and plastic surgeons from numerous private and university hospitals.
Dr. Karl Waked is a board-certified plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon and staff member at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery department of the Free University of Brussels. Throughout his training and professional career, he has encountered various wrist pathologies and performed surgeries for a wide range of soft tissue and osseous anomalies. He has shared his experience through several publications, in collaboration with the main author of this book. His position as staff member at the University Hospital enables him to broaden his knowledge on frequent and less frequent wrist pathologies, especially those with an indication for surgical excision or correction. Through a multidisciplinary collaboration with the orthopaedic surgeons, he is also involved in more complex and reconstructive surgical cases of the wrist.
