Book description
The sure way to accurate ultrasound diagnosis:With more than 2,000
illustrations, this one-of-a-kind book offers an entirely new system for
using ultrasound imaging to achieve the correct diagnosis quickly and
reliably. Covering the full spectrum of normal and pathologic findings
in the human body, the authors -- all experts in the field -- present a
color-coded system of more than 250 drop-down menus, which lay out all
possible diagnoses at a glance and then guide the user swiftly and
surely to an accurate diagnosis. The book's clear layout, flow charts,
and text boxes make it possible to approach a diagnosis via different
pathways, such as sonographic criteria, or with the most likely
diagnosis. The detailed information -- plus all of the images --
required for the correct diagnosis are always at your fingertips.
Organized anatomically, chapters each begin with a handy review of
important sonographic characteristics and normal findings. The essential
information for each possible abnormal finding follows, along with
concise discussions of supplemental techniques, such as B-Mode images,
Doppler imaging, and the use of contrast media. Elegantly crafted,
concise, and accessible, Differential Diagnosis in Ultrasound is a tried
and tested method for making the most of ultrasound as a highly
efficient diagnostic tool. "Remarkable, richly illustrated
textbook... A text always clear and enriched by numerous demonstrative
illustrations...the quality of all the 2397 illustrations is an
iconographic achievement. Practically no criticism can be raised for
this most remarkable book, which one expects will have a wide diffusion.
The clarity of the text will allow the junior ultrasonographers to
acquire definitive information that will be necessary for a correct
analysis of different diagnostic problems, while the more senior
sonographers will always find interesting "pearls," in the
perusal of the text as well as in analyzing the images
presented."--Clinical Imaging_x000D_ _x000D_ "This is an
excellent review of common diagnostic problems that general abdominal
sonographers have to deal with on a daily basis. ..It is a book that
training ultrasound departments should consider putting in their library
or, better still, in the ultrasound department where it will be
available to provide guidance to those in training and
beyond."--RAD Magazine formerly Evangelisches Krankenhaus
