Ultrasound Anatomy and Normal Appearances


Book Description

The knowledge of anatomy is an integral part of all the imaging modalities including ultrasound. Understanding the location of various organs and structures in the body, their anatomical relationship with one another and their normal ultrasonic appearances is very important in analyzing and interpreting the images. This book attempts to explain the same, with reference to the landmarks which help in locating and identifying different organs. At the outset of each chapter, the anatomy, scanning technique and normal appearance (in terms of relative echogenicity) are explained in text. This is followed by the ultrasound images in various planes. The images are accompanied by labeled colour diagrams and the relative probe position.




Pocket Atlas of Normal Ultrasound Anatomy


Book Description

This popular pocket atlas helps readers rapidly identify key anatomic structures of the neck, abdomen, female pelvis, and male genitalia on ultrasound scans...and shows how to distinguish these structures from artifacts. The thoroughly revised Second Edition features 74 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art ultrasound technology.Each page presents a high-resolution image that is clearly labeled to point out anatomic landmarks. Directly above the image are a key to the labels and a thumbnail illustration that orients the reader to the plane of view (sagittal, axial, or coronal). This format--sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and accuracy.Praise for the previous edition:"Recommend that this atlas be in the pocket of all neophyte abdominal ultrasonographers and all first-year radiology residents. It should also be available in all radiology departments."--Radiology




Normal Ultrasound Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System


Book Description

The book provides a comprehensive description of the ultrasound anatomy of the musculoskeletal system and clear guidance on the technique. Ultrasound images are coupled with anatomic pictures explaining probe positioning and scanning technique for the various joints of the musculoskeletal system: shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip, knee, foot, and ankle. For each joint there is also a brief explanation of normal anatomy as well as a list of tricks and tips and advice on how to perform the ultrasound scan in clinical practice. This book will be an excellent practical teaching guide for beginners and a useful reference for more experienced sonographers.

Ultrasonography


Book Description

This superb book is the first sonography text to take an anatomical approach to sonographic applications. Each part of the body receives a chapter of its own, covering its prenatal development, location and size, physiology, gross anatomy, sonographic appearance, normal state, and normal variants as well as common diagnostic tests, laboratory values, measurements, vasculature, and affecting chemicals. The companion EXERCISES IN ULTRASONOGRAPHY uses hands-on activities to reinforce concepts presented in the parent text.




Sonography


Book Description

Without a thorough knowledge of the appearance of normal anatomy, you may have a tough time recognizing abnormalities in ultrasound images. Get a firm grounding in normal anatomy and physiology from an ultrasound perspective with Sonography: Introduction to Normal Structure and Function, 4th Edition. The new edition of this highly visual introductory text presents a wealth of ultrasound images, accompanied by labeled drawings with detailed legends, to increase your comfort with normal anatomy as it appears during scanning. Its consistent chapter format makes the content easy to navigate and reinforces the discipline of following a standard protocol to scan each area of the body. Detailed line drawings accompany most sonograms to explain what you should notice on each scan. If you do not see the structure, or are uncertain of it on the image, you can look at the diagram for confirmation. Over 1,500 images provide a thorough, visual understanding of sonography. Consistent organization with a standardized heading scheme helps you when searching for information. Content on quality control protocols in the clinical setting shows you how to recreate the most optimal scanning settings and techniques. Evolve resources provide you with additional learning tools.
