MDCT.net is pleased to inform its readers that a new subject section dedicated to musculoskeletal radiology has been launched on the website.

This new section complements the already existing anatomical sections, specifically: abdomen and pelvis; brain, head and neck; chest and cardiovascular.

New content in the musculoskeletal section includes recent literature and clinical cases regarding the use of multidetector CT for imaging pathologies of the bones, joints and muscles. This information on the musculoskeletal applications of CT will be particularly relevant to clinicians who deal with trauma, neoplastic and degenerative diseases, anatomic abnormalities, and orthopaedic implants.
