<b>Dr Andrew Brown</b> is a Consultant Rheumatologist and Senior Lecturer in Medical Education at Hull York Medical School, and as such is involved in all aspects of undergraduate and postgraduate education with an emphasis on his clinical discipline of musculoskeletal medicine. <br /><br /><b>Dr David King</b> is a Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist based at The York Teaching Hospital. He teaches musculoskeletal radiology to medical students, trainees in radiology, orhopaedics and emergency medicine, as well as professionals allied to medicine.

<i>Musculoskeletal X-rays for Medical Students</i> provides the key principles and skills needed for the assessment of normal and abnormal musculoskeletal radiographs. With a focus on concise information and clear visual presentation, it uses a unique colour overlay system to clearly present abnormalities.<br /> <br /> <i>Musculoskeletal X-rays for Medical Students</i>:<br /> • Presents each radiograph twice, side by side – once as would be seen in a clinical setting and again with clearly highlighted anatomy or pathology<br /> • Focuses on radiographic appearances and abnormalities seen in common clinical presentations, highlighting key learning points relevant to each condition<br /> • Covers introductory principles, normal anatomy and common pathologies, in addition to disease-specific sections covering adult and paediatric practice<br /> • Includes self-assessment to test knowledge and presentation techniques<br /> <br /> <i>Musculoskeletal X-rays for Medical Students</i> is designed for medical students, junior doctors, nurses and radiographers, and is ideal for both study and clinical reference.
