Measurements in Musculoskeletal Radiology

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 1558 Accesses

Abstract

In the past, textbooks dedicated to measurements in musculoskeletal imaging have been almost exclusively dedicated to roentgenographic measurements (Keats and Lusted 1985). They focused particularly on static measurements, whereas dynamic and functional aspects were often disregarded. Moreover, quantitative evaluation of soft tissues was not included.
