Gamut index of skeletal dysplasias

This handbook presents, in the form of Gamut Lists, the radiological manifestations of skeletal dysplasias for both genetic and acquired disorders of the skeleton. Its purpose is to act as an aid to differential diagnosis following the observation of abnormalities in bone radiographs. The lists are constructed in two ways: by type of generalised bone abnormality and anatomically by skeletal region. These sections are followed by brief descriptions of the disorders thus listed with key references for further information. Since publication of the first edition, many new disorders have been delineated and this has resulted in all sections of the book being updated to take account of the new material. The terminology used is that set out in the 1992 revision of the International Nomenclature.

  • "This title presents the radiological manifestations of the genetic skeletal dysplasias in the form of Gamut Lists. Its purpose is to act as an aid to differential diagnosis following the observation of abnormalities in bone radiographs. The first section of the book comprises gamut lists of generalised skeletal abnormalities. The second section takes a regional approach and in the third section, brief outlines and key references are provided for the heritable skeletal disorders listed in Sections 1 and 2. At appropriate places in the text pertinent comment is made concerning practical issues in radio-diagnosis of these conditions. An extensive index is provided. This new edition of the book has been extensively updated and expanded and provides the user with an accurate and effective diagnostic tool."
  • "The skeleton is involved to a significant extent in more than 500 genetic and congenital syndromes and although the majority of these are individually rare, collectively they are not uncommon. Diagnostic precision, which is crucial for accurate prognostica tion and effective management, is frequently dependent upon recognition of radiological stigmata. For this reason the radiologist plays a key role in the appraisal and investigation of persons with disorders of this type. With these points in mind we have written this handbook for use in the radiographic reporting room. We have endeavored to provide the essential information which will facilitate radiodiagnosis and have striven for clarity and accuracy. We believe that our objective will be achieved by means of the 'gamut' format which we have employed. In Section 1 we have addressed the problem of diagnosis of generalized skeletal abnormalities, while Section 2 is based upon an anatomical or regional approach. Lists of conditions are given in order of prevalence or importance. Our gamut has been deliberately simplified and only the most important and easily recognized radiographic stigmata have been taken into account. Pertinent clinical, radiographic, and genetic information for each syndromic entity is provided in Section 3, where the disorders are placed in alphabetical order. This section also contains relevant references which are as up to date as possible."
