Understanding Rheumatic Diseases Through Imaging

The authors go beyond simply explaining the technical aspects of imaging. They delve into the clinical, pathological, and imaging assessments of rheumatic diseases, ensuring that readers have a comprehensive understanding of how imaging findings correlate with patient symptoms and the overall diagnostic process. This approach allows both radiologists and non-radiologists to make informed decisions and communicate effectively with their colleagues.
