Book description
With an emphasis on the accuracy and dynamic nature of no-radiation
ultrasound, leading clinicians from around the world provide practical
guidance on how to combine different multiplanar imaging modalities in
the analysis and diagnosis of common musculoskeletal disorders.
Organized by body region, each of the 13 chapters follows a consistent,
easy-to-reference format. The authors guide the reader through clinical
indications, technical guidelines, and normal anatomy followed by
information on degenerative diseases, inflammatory conditions, traumatic
injuries, tumors, and various other musculoskeletal problems. Clear,
high-resolution ultrasound images appear side by side with MRI, and in
some cases CT, images to teach and train readers how to perform
musculoskeletal ultrasound in clinical practice while simultaneously
sharpening their diagnostic skills.
Features:
864 high-quality illustrations, including full-color patient
photographs and ultrasound images with MRI correlation to help readers
understand how to make an accurate diagnosis
Bullet points that highlight key facts to facilitate rapid reading
and review
Tips on technique, such as how to position the transducer to obtain
optimal scans
Imaging pearls and pitfalls at the end of every chapter
As a handy reference for daily practice or as a review tool before
exams,
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound with MRI Correlations
serves as an indispensable how-to manual for clinicians and residents
in radiology, orthopedic surgery, and emergency medicine, as well as an
accessible handbook for radiologic technologists. Professor and
