| Summary: | Fully master the basic principles and applications of abdominal ultrasound <br> <br> <p>Praise for this book:</p> <br> <p>This book appears to be a useful tool for different levels of users --<br> not just physicians. The topics provide information on best approaches for<br> beginners while the illustrations better define acquisition data and may be<br> helpful to individuals with more experience. The book would be useful for<br> students and technologists in all disciplines and specialties to help understand<br> sonographic imaging. -- Kathleen Drotar, Radiologic<br> Technology, July/August, 2012</p> <br> <p>Designed to be kept close at hand during an actual<br> ultrasound examination, Abdominal Ultrasound: Step by Step, Second<br> Edition<br> , provides the tools, techniques and training to increase your knowledge and<br> confidence in interpreting ultrasound findings. Its clear, systematic approach<br> shows you how to recognize all important ultrasound phenomena (especially<br> misleading artifacts), locate and delineate the upper abdominal organs, explain<br> suspicious findings, apply clinical correlations, and easily distinguish between<br> normal and abnormal images.</p> <br> <p>This second edition includes the new Sono Consultant , a systematic, two-part framework for helping the examiner evaluate specific ultrasound findings and make an informed differential diagnosis. In the first part, Ultrasound Findings , the examiner notes an abnormality at ultrasound, lists all findings, and suggests possible interpretations. In the second section, Clinical Presentation , the examiner starts off with a possible diagnosis (e.g. heart failure, splenomegaly) and then extracts the maximum possible information available on ultrasound to confirm, support, or differentiate the diagnosis.</p> <br> <p> Features: </p> <br> More than 670 ultrasound images and 240 drawings that<br> enhance the text<br> <br> 3-D diagrams that depict complex anatomical structures<br> and spatial relationships<br> <br> Clear and concise learning units for easy mastery of<br> material <p>Providing a logical, structured foundation for performing a successful<br> ultrasound examination, this practice-oriented teaching guide is essential for<br> all students and residents building their skills in ultrasonography.</p> |
