RT Book, Section A1 Tehranzadeh, Jamshid SR Print(0) ID 1181068605 T1 Foreword from the First Edition T2 Basic Musculoskeletal Imaging, 2e YR 2021 FD 2021 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9781260459975 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1181068605 RD 2024/04/19 AB My own desire to become a radiologist took shape during my time as a medical student years ago, when I first began reading some of the basic texts in radiology. My decision to specialize in bone imaging occurred during my radiology residency, once again based in part on reading some of the classic texts in musculoskeletal radiology. So I know firsthand the importance of books to many medical students and radiology residents as they try to find the specialty or subspecialty that is right for them. Because of this, I am excited to write a foreword for a book that, I believe, will fill a void in the literature and is long overdue. Jamshid (Jim) Tehranzadeh has edited a masterpiece, Basic Musculoskeletal Imaging, that is filled with useful information, pearls, and pitfalls and is ideally suited to medical students and residents in many different fields who want to learn more about this subspecialty. He and his contributors are to be congratulated for recognizing the need for such a publication and for filling this void.
