Publisher's Synopsis
Diagnostic Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal 3e provides an updated, comprehensive content set for diagnostic ultrasound imaging with a focus on ultrasound in 5 sections across almost 1,000 pages. Groups of chapters focus on Anatomy, Ultrasound Techniques, Diagnoses and Differential Diagnoses, and Interventional Procedures with the bulk of the content focused on anatomy and diagnoses of the musculoskeletal (MSK) systems. MSK ultrasound is a rapidly expanding field among radiologists, sports physicians, general practitioners, orthopedic and general surgeons, and neurologists. MSK ultrasound has traditionally been used for abdomen/pelvis/obstetric imaging but the use of MSK ultrasound is an evolving field. Since the 2e of Diagnostic Ultrasound: MSK published in 2018, ultrasonographers are much surer of the benefits and limitations of MSK ultrasound across the wide range of application which is driving the expanded use of MSK ultrasound.
Develop a solid understanding of ultrasound and evolving musculoskeletal ultrasound practices with this multiple award-winning point-of-care reference in the popular Diagnostic Ultrasound series. Written by leading experts in the field, the third edition of Diagnostic Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal offers detailed, clinically oriented coverage of anatomy, techniques, and diagnoses in this complex area. Featuring more than 3,600 print and online-only images and 100+ videos, this edition showcases today's rapidly evolving musculoskeletal ultrasound practice and its expanding applications for everyday clinical use. More than 100 detailed, clinically-oriented chapters provide expert guidance on ultrasound anatomy, technique, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, reporting, and ultrasound-guided interventional procedures for the entire musculoskeletal system.
