The text clearly reaches its target audience--someone rather new to the field, but practicing a dedicated musculoskeletal academic center--in an apropos fashion. Every radiologist can generate a laundry list of entities; however, in the table format of this text, one can easily decide which of the entities remain a diagnostic possibility and which do not. The entities are easy to evaluate with the table listing the radiographic findings and then with a comment section often focusing on pertinent clinical information or differential criteria. The vast number of pictures truly facilitates in bringing the large spectrum of entities that are discussed from the world of abstraction and esotericism into reality. This book has a clear goal in mind and accomplishes it with great fervor. For the practicing radiologist, it gives an exhaustive list to expand one's differential diagnosis while, at the same time, helping to rapidly narrow a differential diagnosis into a useful number of entities.
