This brilliant pocket guide helps you to grasp the connection between three-dimensional organ systems and their two-dimensional representation in ultrasound imaging. Through dynamic illustrations and clarifying text, it allows you to: - Recognize, name, and confidently locate all organs, landmarks, and anatomical details of the abdomen -Examine all standard planes, including transverse and longitudinal scans for regions of sonographic interest (including the thyroid gland) - Understand topographic relationships of organs and structures in all three spatial planes This invaluable text is ideal for the beginner, providing a rapid orientation to all key topics. It includes: - Over 250 fully labeled image quartets, each showing: the preferred location of the transducer on the body; the resulting image; a labeled drawing of the image, keyed to anatomic structures; and a small 3-D drawing showing the location of the scanning plane in the organ. - Body markers with information on transducer handling and positioning for each sonogram - Over 250 rules of thumb and key concepts - All relevant landmarks, measurable parameters, and normal values Packed with beautiful graphics and precise text, this is the essential resource that anyone involved in ultrasound radiography needs.

A proven, didactic guide to normal ultrasound anatomy — ideal for the beginning sonographer Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy, Second Edition presents a systematic, step-by-step introduction to normal sectional anatomy of the abdominal and pelvic organs and thyroid gland, essential for recognizing the anatomic landmarks and variations seen on ultrasound. Its convenient, double-page format, with more than 250 image quartets showing ultrasound images on the left and explanatory drawings on the right, is ideal for rapid comprehension. In addition, each image is accompanied by a line drawing indicating the position of the transducer on the body and a 3-D diagram demonstrating the location of the scanning plane in each organ. Special features: More than 60 new ultrasound images in the second edition that were obtained with state-of-the-art equipment for the highest quality resolution A helpful foundation on standard sectional planes for abdominal scanning, with full-color photographs demonstrating probe placement on the body and diagrams of organs shown Front and back cover flaps displaying normal sonographic dimensions of organs for easy reference Covering all relevant anatomic markers, measurable parameters, and normal values, and including both transverse and longitudinal scans, this pocket-sized reference is an essential learning tool for medical students, radiology residents, ultrasound technicians, and medical sonographers.

This popular pocket atlas helps readers rapidly identify key anatomic structures of the neck, abdomen, female pelvis, and male genitalia on ultrasound scans...and shows how to distinguish these structures from artifacts. The thoroughly revised Second Edition features 74 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art ultrasound technology.Each page presents a high-resolution image that is clearly labeled to point out anatomic landmarks. Directly above the image are a key to the labels and a thumbnail illustration that orients the reader to the plane of view (sagittal, axial, or coronal). This format--sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and accuracy.Praise for the previous edition:"Recommend that this atlas be in the pocket of all neophyte abdominal ultrasonographers and all first-year radiology residents. It should also be available in all radiology departments."--Radiology

In recent years, ultrasound has become an essential tool for clinicians who care for patients suffering from acute or chronic pain. Comprehensive Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Pain Management Injection Techniques, 2nd Edition, depicts in clear, step-by-step detail how to prepare and perform injections under ultrasound guidance. Noted pain expert Dr. Steven D. Waldman’s succinct, easy-to-read writing style guides you through more than 180 useful techniques – all highlighted by hundreds of full-color, oversized images designed to demonstrate the ease and utility of ultrasound in contemporary pain management care.

Beautifully illustrated with high-quality ultrasound images, an ideal beginner's guide; should be at hand in every ultrasound department. Now in its third edition, the Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy presents a comprehensive and systematic overview of normal sonographic anatomy of the abdominal and pelvic regions, essential for locating and recognizing the organs, anatomic landmarks, and topographic relationships. In its practical double-page format, ultrasound images and corresponding drawings are arranged by organs and scanning paths in more than 300 pairs, demonstrating probe positioning, the resulting sectional image, the anatomical structures, and the location of the scanning plane in the organ. Special features: In gallbladder, spleen, and kidneys chapters, revised and expanded series of ultrasound images with corresponding drawings Now with coverage of transvaginal imaging of the uterus and ovaries and transrectal imaging of the prostate Offers guidance on scanning paths and standard sectional planes for abdominal scanning, with photos demonstrating probe placement on the body and drawings showing the organs that can be visualized Helps grasp the relation between three-dimensional organ systems and their two-dimensional representation in ultrasound imaging Front and back cover flaps displaying normal sonographic dimensions of organs for easy reference Covering all relevant anatomic structures, important measurable parameters, and normal values, and including both transverse and longitudinal scans, this pocket-sized reference is an essential, high-yield learning tool for medical students, radiology residents, ultrasound technicians, and medical sonographers.

This atlas describes and illustrates a novel approach, referred to as full breast ultrasonography (FBU), that represents a challenge to conventional breast imaging diagnosis. The coverage encompasses examination technique, diagnostic criteria, the imaging features of a wide variety of lesions, and role in follow-up. FBU involves anatomic ultrasound scanning based on the ductal echography technique proposed by Michel Teboul, supplemented by Doppler and real-time sonoelastography. The approach offers a variety of advantages. Compared with MRI it has a lower cost, wider availability, better resolution, and improved correlation with anatomy. Compared with mammography it has the benefits of absence of irradiation and pain, applicability in all cases, and better overall accuracy. Furthermore, the standardized technique of acquisition and interpretation means that it is suitable as a screening test, unlike classic ultrasonography. FBU is applicable in ultrasound BI-RADS assessment and is of value in depicting both benign and malignant conditions. It can be recommended as a first-line method of diagnosis and for the follow-up of treated breasts, regardless of the patient’s age, sex, or physical condition.

This full-color atlas presents over 1200 images from one of the largest trauma centers in North America. Photos, x-rays and illustrations depicting a variety of common and rare traumatic injuries are accompanied by recommendations and advice from a multidisciplinary group of experienced trauma care providers.
