Bone densitometry (BD) is an extraordinary clinical tool. It
provides a safe, non-invasive window to the skeleton. Through that
window, a physician can obtain vital clinical information that
enhances diagnosis and improves patient management. Further, much
has changed in the last decade to make bone densitometry the
especially fascinating field of medicine it is today, incorporating
imaging, physics, quantitative analysis, statistics, and computer
technology -- all applied in the diagnosis and management of
osteoporosis.
No text details the state-of-the-art and value of densitometry
better than "Bone Densitometry in Clinical Practice: Applications
and Interpretation, Third Edition." Written by renowned expert
Sydney Lou Bonnick, MD, this edition improves remarkably on her
highly regarded previous volumes, with a significant update and
expansion of material. New chapters reflect densitometry s growing
applications as well as the evolving needs of the densitometrist.
New material on radiation safety and assessment for secondary
causes of bone fragility is included, and the text also
incorporates material from the recent ISCD Position Development
Conferences (PDC s), both the 4th adult and the 1st pediatric.
Moreover, an entire appendix devoted to the PDCs has been added,
providing solutions to many unanswered questions concerning bone
densitometry applications.
Comprehensive and invaluable, "Bone Densitometry in Clinical
Practice: Application and Interpretation, Third Edition" offers all
primary care physicians and specialists the ideal reference for
practicing state-of-the-art bone densitometry and caring for
patients with, or at risk for, osteoporosis."
