About this title

Synopsis

As is often pointed out, the trouble with ultrasound scanning is that it is totally operator dependent and skilled operators need to be properly trained. Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide will assist the beginner in learning how to operate ultrasound equipment, how to scan, and how to interpret the images that appear on the screen.

This guide takes the operator through common scans that are typically encountered on a day-to-day basis in a busy hospital and are arranged according to anatomical sites. Each chapter comprises a revision section on useful anatomy, a scan protocol presented with clear instructions in a step-by-step approach, and a section on clinically relevant pathologies. Clear pictoral and scan presentation together with useful 'Hints' throughout will assist learning and help to improve the quality of images.

Practical Ultrasound is an essential resource to all those learning to use ultrasound: sonographers, radiologists, and other medical and surgical specialists.
