This quick-reference imaging handbook provides students and practicing
physical therapists the essential information they need to accurately
interpret patients’ radiographic images, better understand the nature of a
pathology or injury, expertly plan and implement a physical therapy
treatment plan for each patient, and explain to patients why the
treatment is needed and how it will help them.
Covering the most common pathologies and conditions seen in a typical
musculoskeletal physical therapy clinic, this concise handbook uses high
quality images to illustrate the normal radiographic, CT, and MRI anatomy,
and, by comparison, changes in the skeleton caused by various diseases
and trauma that typically prompt a physical therapy referral.
Accessible and concise,
Imaging Handbook for Physical Therapists

organized by body region, making it easy for readers to access information
they can use immediately in clinical rotations or everyday practice.
