Diagnostic Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780443285646)

Diagnostic Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal 3e provides an updated, comprehensive content set for diagnostic ultrasound imaging with a focus on ultrasound in 5 sections across almost 1,000 pages. Groups of chapters focus on Anatomy, Ultrasound Techniques, Diagnoses and Differential Diagnoses, and Interventional Procedures with the bulk of the content focused on anatomy and diagnoses of the musculoskeletal (MSK) systems. MSK ultrasound is a rapidly expanding field among radiologists, sports physicians, general practitioners, orthopedic and general surgeons, and neurologists. MSK ultrasound has traditionally been used for abdomen/pelvis/obstetric imaging but the use of MSK ultrasound is an evolving field. Since the 2e of Diagnostic Ultrasound: MSK published in 2018, ultrasonographers are much surer of the benefits and limitations of MSK ultrasound across the wide range of application which is driving the expanded use of MSK ultrasound.

. New chapters include the use of ultrasound for synovial biopsies and elastography (which, in conjunction with the use of ultrasound, measures stiff areas in organs that may indicate disease)

. Updated sections across the entire book provide the most up-to-date, relevant content for MSK ultrasonographers and other medical professionals

Intuitively structured with 130 chapters that employ a bulleted, image-heavy layout, DU3: MSK's presentation of content helps readers quickly find and understand the information they need

• . DU3: MSK features updated and revised content throughout, including the following:

  o Nearly 40 completely comprehensive Anatomy chapters updated to create a more clinically relevant section than the previous edition's, including more relevant schematic diagrams

  o More than 10 Technique chapters revised to reflect the most current ultrasound methods for various body sections

  o Nearly 50 reworked Diagnosis chapters that feature new content, images, and references

  20 Differential Diagnosis chapters that reflect the latest discoveries in MSK diagnosis, including new chapters on neuralgic amyotrophy, synovial biopsy, elastography, and more

. The 3e delivers a set of completely updated anatomy chapters (33) that are comprehensive and deliver a more clinically relevant section, including more relevant schematic diagrams. The Technique chapters (12) are updated to reflect the most current ultrasound methods for various sections of the body. The Diagnosis group of chapters (47) is thoroughly updated and new content, images, and literature references are included throughout. The Differential Diagnosis chapters (19) are updated to reflect the latest knowledge and discovery of MSK diagnoses. New chapters in the 3e are in place on brachial plexopathy, neuralgic amyotrophy, synovial biopsy, and elastography.
