Proper ultrasound examination and interpretation hinges on thorough knowledgeof the relevant anatomy, artifacts, and technique. This book provides an excellent foundation by going beyond pathology and concentrating on these fundamentals. Basic physics and artifact recognition and prevention are outlined. Chapters review essential anatomy and include images and tables that highlight relevant bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Sites of attachment and the best positions for examination are also noted. Technique is presented via a three-tiered approach and photographs of patients in the transducer positionare matched with the resulting ultrasound images and complementary anatomicaloverlays. The accompanying DVD offers ultrasound technique as performed by experienced radiologists and clinicians. Procedures are detailed with a split screen showing the examination and the corresponding ultrasound image. Emphasis placed on proper exam technique Exquisite anatomical detail throughout Accompanying DVD is based on teaching courses at major conferences INDICE: Principles of Ultrasound Imaging.- Artifacts.- Ultrasound of Bone,Ligaments, Tendons, Muscles and Nerves.- Upper Limb.- Shoulder.- Upper Arm.- Elbow.- Forearm.- Wrist and Hand.- Lower Limb.- Hip.- Thigh.- Knee.- Leg.- Ankle and Foot.- Peripheral Nerves.- Brachial Plexus.- Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis.
