Diagnostic Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal

Professor James F. Griffith is an academic clinical radiologist working at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has 25 years of experience working with musculoskeletal ultrasound in a clinical setting from the initial inception of high-resolution ultrasound into clinical practice. He is a head of a busy Musculoskeletal Imaging Unit covering all aspects of musculoskeletal imaging, including ultrasound, CT, MR, PET/CT and intervention. This imaging cross integration allows him to fully appreciate the benefits of ultrasound in the work-up and treatment of different musculoskeletal conditions. He has published nearly 300 peer-reviewed papers on various aspects of musculoskeletal imaging, as well as conducting and participating in at least 40 musculoskeletal ultrasound workshops.

"The excellence of the book lies at first in its systematic approach to normal and pathological anatomy. Each chapter methodically addresses a specific joint or anatomical region,... [and] the text is presented with the highest possible level of visual documentation. The integration of high-resolution ultrasound images with anatomical diagrams, rich in explanatory details of the evaluated anatomical district, greatly facilitates the reader’s understanding of the findings, both normal and pathological. A particularly notable feature of this publication is the inclusion of step-by-step photographic sequences illustrating transducer positioning and movement.... this volume synthesizes detailed anatomical knowledge, practical scanning techniques, which represent its greatest and invaluable value, and diagnostic strategies in one accessible volume. For radiologists, physiatrists, orthopedic specialists, and sonographers seeking a comprehensive, clinically focused, and visually superb guide to musculoskeletal ultrasound, this book is not only indispensable, but represents a definitive and world-class magnum opus in the practice-oriented musculoskeletal ultrasound literature." - Vincenzo Parlato and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, May 2025
