Imaging osteoarthropathies of endocrine origin

Most endocrine disorders are accompanied by changes in the musculoskeletal system. The osteoarticular complications of endocrine origin most frequently encountered in routine radiological practice are those of post-menopausal osteoporosis, diabetes and hyperparathyroidism. Bone remodeling associated with acromegaly is less frequent, but it is essential to know how to recognize it in order to avoid diagnostic delays. Osteoarticular changes secondary to dysthyroidism are rare and not very specific. This pedagogical and didactic book provides a radiological description of the various osteoarticular lesions of endocrine origin, richly illustrated with numerous demonstrative diagrams. The book is intended for radiology interns and practicing physicians.
