AB In  the  first  incarnation  of  this  book,  we  had  chosen  to  focus  on  the  emerging  applications  of  imaging  and  its  impact  on  the  provision  of  rehabilitation  services.  In  this  retitled  edition,  we  have  broadened  the  scope  to  serve  the  health  care  provider.  Today,  physician  assistants,  nurse  practitioners,  athletic  trainers,  and  physical  and  occupational  therapists  are  all  increasingly  required  to  have  knowledge  of  the  applicability  of  imaging  and  the  significance  of  its  findings  for  optimal  patient  management.  The  digitalization  of  imaging  has  greatly  improved  the  opportunity  for  providers  to  access  and  apply  the  results  of  diagnostic  imaging  to  enhance  clinical  care.  The  text  serves  the  needs  of  student  and  clinician  alike,  as  a  user-friendly  guide  to  application  of  the  common  imaging  modalities  and  the  basic  interpretation  of  these  images.  Each  regional  chapter  describes  the  special  applications  unique  to  that  region  and  how  clinicians  can  select  for  optimal  clinical  decision  making.  In  an  attempt  to  demonstrate  this,  these  chapters  have  case  studies  that  illustrate  concepts  in  a  real-world  setting.  As  many  users  may  have  a  limited  previous  exposure  to  imaging,  an  internet-based  resource  (available  at  AccessPhysiotherapy.com)  providing  image  and  contextual  information  is  provided  to  enhance  general  appreciation  and  interpretation.  We  hope  this  text  will  serve  as  a  useful  introduction  to  the  fascinating  and  exploding  world  of  imaging—serving  the  student  and  practicing  clinician  well.
