Preface

It is really hard to know who wants a picture of pain more … the patient in pain or the physician treating the patient’s pain. Efforts to measure, quantify, or take a picture of pain are nothing new. For a brief time in 1895, it seemed that Wilhelm Roentgen had in fact discovered a way to take a picture of pain. But it did not take long for physicians to figure out that it was only a picture of a hand!
Fast forward 100 years, and where are we? Articles in both the lay press and scientific literature suggest that functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging can now show the physician and patient alike a picture of pain. But are these highly sophisticated imaging modalities, in fact, showing us a picture of pain any more than the x-ray of Roentgen’s hand did? Well, at one level the answer must be a loud and emphatic yes, but at another level, the answer unfortunately remains an embarrassed and barely audible no.


Figure P2 Wilhelm Roentgen’s X-ray photograph of his wife’s hand.
At this point in our discussion, it is probably time to ask the obvious. If you can’t take a picture of pain, why bother to write a book about taking a picture of pain? This is a very good question that I will try to briefly answer. The short answer is: See the first sentence of this Preface. The slightly longer answer is that like every other physician who treats patients in pain, I want to see a picture of my patient’s pain with an eye (pardon the pun) to treating it. Like those physicians who came before me, I want something tangible to exterminate or extirpate. When I see a patient in pain, I immediately want to search out the pain and get rid of it. The harder it is for me to “find” the patient’s pain, the harder I want to look for it. Hence, the desire to image the patient’s pain and to write a book to aid others on a similar quest.
Throughout this text, Rob Campbell and I have tried to put together pictures of what we believe a number of common and sometimes not so common pain syndromes look like. We have endeavored to guide the reader in choosing the best and, whenever possible, least invasive imaging modalities to aid in diagnosing the condition causing the patient’s pain. Since, in a clinical situation many painful conditions can mimic one another, we have provided the reader with a comprehensive differential diagnosis, with an emphasis on how appropriate imaging can often help the clinician avoid going down the wrong diagnostic path. We have purposefully avoided discussing the cost of “taking a picture of pain,” because both of Rob and I are thoroughly convinced that the cost of undiagnosed or improperly diagnosed pain (in terms of both patient suffering and cost to society) far exceed the cost of an x-ray, CT, or MRI. Rob has worked tirelessly to accumulate the excellent images in this book that are illustrative of the painful conditions presented. Our editors at Elsevier have designed an easily readable text with the images laid out for ready reference by the reader. We both hope this text helps you in your efforts to treat pain and expands your differential diagnosis of some of the less commonly encountered painful conditions we have presented.
