In the hands of a skilled operator, ultrasound scanning is a simple and easy procedure. However, reaching that level of proficiency can be a long and tedious process. Commended by the British Medical Association, Practical Ultrasound, Third Edition incorporates up-to-date techniques and protocols, focusing on the scans regularly encountered in a busy ultrasound department. This book provides everything novice practitioners need to know to become competent and skilled in scanning.Beginning with the general principles of ultrasound scanning and a guide to using the ultrasound machine, this book provides clear instructions on how to perform scans supplemented by high-quality images and handy tips. Organized according to anatomical site, the chapters include a review section on useful anatomy, scan protocol presented step by step, and a section on common pathology. Maintaining the popular format of the first and second editions, each chapter contains examples of common and clinically relevant pathologies and notes on the salient features of these conditions.The authors’ precise approach puts an immense amount of knowledge within easy reach, making it an ideal aid for learning the practicalities of ultrasound.Key Features:Follows an appealing organization of chapters, developing fundamental knowledge of how to operate the ultrasound machine before moving on to the practicalities of how to scan each anatomical areaPresents comprehensive, authoritative, and up‑to‑date text, integrating anatomical knowledge, practical tips from experts, and common clinical pathologies that are important to recognizeIncorporates high‑quality ultrasound images with corresponding line drawings indicating the key points to spotArms you with the practical knowledge you will need when you pick up the ultrasound probe and start out on your own journey of learning the skill of ultrasonography

The optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging poses a constant challenge as the technology is continually and rapidly advancing. This leaves the MR practitioner, beginner or experienced, in constant need of up-to-date, easily read and well illustrated material presenting the clinical constellation of pathologies as seen by an MRI scanner in such an effective way.MRI of the Whole Body sets out to educate trainee and experienced radiologists, radiographers and clinicians regarding key sequences for optimal imaging of common pathologies, with simple explanations on the choice of a particular MR sequence. The authors present typical and representative examples with relevant clinical and imaging features to assist a better understanding of these commonly encountered conditions. Every unit begins with a quick anatomy review, and each case is described in a standardised format with a clinical background, key sequences, imaging features, and practical hints as to close differentials and ways to distinguish between them. A text of this nature is essential for all MR practitioners whatever their background: medical, technical or scientific.Key features:First of its kind as no other book covers all body systems in one volume with demonstration of all key imaging sequences in the commonly diagnosed pathologiesUp-to-date sequences described with reasons for choosing a particular sequence for a particular caseSimplified relevant MR anatomy preceding each unitClear high resolution images with appropriate legendsPractical hints and tips section included for each pathology - close differentials and what to do nextWritten in a simple, lucid format and accompanied by typical illustrations to each case MRI of the Whole Body is an essential guide to understanding the 'what's, 'why's and 'how's of applied MR. It will be of particular value to trainee and practicing radiologists, as well as MR radiographers and radiography students.
