The
third edition of this practical reference guide has been updated with a
modern, visually attractive design and expanded content. The book is
ideal for healthcare professionals with little or no experience in
administering and interpreting abdominal ultrasound examinations. It is
practice-oriented and structured in a way that allows readers with
varying degrees of ultra-sonography knowledge to utilize the material
according to their individual experience and needs.
Each
chapter includes a systematic, detailed description of the anatomy
involved in the ultrasound examination, with easy-to-digest steps that
follow standardized routine and protocol. That straight-forward
approach, coupled with more than 1,000 high-quality images and
illustrations, enables hands-on learning, yielding the ability to
assimilate these techniques quickly and adeptly.
This is a
stellar resource that provides the requisite tools to locate and
display the anatomical structure being tested, position and move the
transducers accurately, describe and interpret the findings correctly,
and differentiate key findings from the many image artifacts that
typically occur.
Key Highlights:
step-by-step guide is an invaluable, pragmatic resource to have on hand
while performing abdominal ultrasound on the patient. In-depth but
concise, this is an essential teaching guide for medical students,
residents, technicians, and physicians who need to learn and master
these examination techniques.

Key Highlights:
- In-depth
discussion of organ boundaries, organ details, anatomical
relationships, potentially abnormal findings, tips, and clearly defined
learning objectives - Anatomical drawings incorporate a “sliced 3-D” view that show how the structures are displayed by the sector-shaper beam
- Each chapter includes a series of images replicating the 3-D impression that results from the transducer moving across the body
- Schematic drawings illustrate the ultrasound images, including a body marker that shows the transducer position
- The "sono-consultant": a systematic guide to evaluating ultrasound findings and establishing a differential diagnosis
