This new edition provides the basic physical principles of ultrasound, plus imaging artifacts and the use of ultrasonography by body system. Contents:
Whats New
Two completely new chapters: Non-cardiac Thoracic Ultrasonography and Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography, will better equip the practitioner to diagnose conditions in these areas.
Cardiology chapter will begin at a more basic level enabling the reader to make a more accurate diagnosis.
CT/MR Sections illustrating normal anatomy, intraoperative ultrasound, etc. will be incorporated within each existing chapter. These modalities are used more frequently by practitioners. They are better diagnostic tools for the liver, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract.
The genital chapter will now be entitled Reproductive, and the adrenal glands will be removed from the urinary tract, and become a new stand-alone chapter.
New four-colour figures have been added to the abdomen chapter.
