I have read this book from cover to cover after seeing a lecture by Dr. Chung given for the ARRS. She was a fabulous speaker; her book is well written, easy to understand, and her explanation of the mechanism of injury and the pathology that follows acutely and chronically leads to logical progression of what to look for in a systematic approach.
I have read the leading MSK textbooks, casebooks, orthopedic imaging books from Stoller, Brant and Helms, Manaster, Chew, etc. This is by far the best.
The atlas and images are first class.
This is by far a must have for residents, fellows, or practicing rads.

MRI of the Upper Extremity: Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist and Hand 1st Edition
by
Christine B. Chung MD
(Editor),
Lynne S. Steinbach MD
(Editor)
MRI of the Upper Extremity is a complete guide to MRI evaluation of shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and finger disorders. This highly illustrated text/atlas presents a practical approach to MRI interpretation, emphasizing the clinical correlations of imaging findings. More than 1,100 MRI scans show normal anatomy and pathologic findings, and a full-color cadaveric atlas familiarizes readers with anatomic structures seen on MR images.
Coverage of each joint begins with a review of MRI anatomy with cadaveric correlation and proceeds to technical MR imaging considerations and clinical assessment. Subsequent chapters thoroughly describe and illustrate MRI findings for specific disorders, including rotator cuff disease, nerve entrapment syndromes, osteochondral bodies, and triangular fibrocartilage disorders.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
