Diagnostic Imaging: Spine is a comprehensive medical textbook focused on the interpretation and clinical application of spinal imaging across degenerative, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, congenital, and postoperative conditions. The text is designed for healthcare professionals who require a detailed, structured understanding of how imaging findings correlate with anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, and clinical decision-making. The book provides systematic coverage of spinal imaging modalities, including radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, CT myelography, and advanced techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging, spectroscopy, and perfusion imaging where clinically relevant. Imaging principles are presented alongside normal anatomy, common variants, and age-related changes to support accurate differentiation between physiological findings and pathology. Chapters progress from foundational concepts to region-specific and condition-based imaging, with dedicated sections on classification systems, grading scales, and stability criteria commonly used in clinical practice. Traumatic injuries are addressed using established fracture and ligamentous injury frameworks, with attention to spinal stability assessment and imaging features that influence management. Degenerative conditions, spinal stenosis, disc disease, and deformity are discussed with emphasis on reproducible imaging criteria and standardized nomenclature. Neoplastic, infectious, and inflammatory disorders are presented with differential diagnostic considerations and modality-specific imaging characteristics. Special populations, including pediatric patients and postoperative spine imaging, are addressed to highlight developmental anatomy, normal variants, and common diagnostic pitfalls. Advanced chapters explore emerging imaging techniques and their evolving role in functional assessment and surgical planning. This textbook is intended for radiologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals involved in spinal diagnosis and management. It is written as a reference resource for education and clinical practice and does not replace clinical judgment or institutional guidelines.
