Measurement and interpretation of key ultrasound parameters are essential to differentiate normal anatomy from pathology. By using Measurement in Ultrasound, trainee radiologists and ultrasonographers can gain an appreciation of such measurements, while practitioners can use it as a valuable reference in the clinical setting.

The book follows a consistent format throughout for ease of reference and features useful information on preparation and positioning of the patient for ultrasound, the type of transducer and method to be used, the appearance of the resulting ultrasound images and the measurements to be derived from them.

Designed for frequent use in everyday practice, the book includes more than 150 high-quality ultrasound images annotated with key measurements and accompanied by concise explanatory text. Normal variants are provided, along with ranges for features that can change during development and in disease.

This new edition covers relevant developments in ultrasound. Where appropriate, updated ultrasound measurements that have arisen are also included and key references are provided as an aid to further study.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the rapidly evolving field of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the child. The uses and interpretation of CEUS are clearly explained with the aid of numerous illustrations. The coverage encompasses both established indications, such as focal liver lesions, abdominal solid organ injury, and vesicoureteral reflux, and a range of newer applications. Extensive information is also provided on microbubble agents and their use in the pediatric age group, as well as on practical aspects of setting up a CEUS service for children.

CEUS is a safe imaging method that is ideal for the young patient and can be used for problem solving in a number of clinical situations. Ultrasound combined with microbubble contrast avoids the ionizing radiation of a CT examination, the use of iodinated contrast, the need for sedation or a general anesthetic, and the complexities of MR imaging. In bringing readers up to date with best practice and the latest innovations in CEUS, this book will be of value for pediatric radiologists, pediatric sonographers/technicians, and pediatricians.

This book is intended to be used and read by practicing radiologists, sonographers, and physicians working in urology and renal medicine, who have an interest in fully exploiting the diagnostic power of ultrasound imaging.

Central to this book is ultrasound imaging as it contributes to the overall management of renal-based problems. Support is provided by medical, surgical, and oncological information. Adjunct imaging methods are discussed where it is important to appreciate the role of other modalities. An interventional section is included for those cases where ultrasound is used in guiding interventional procedures.

An excellent and compact, yet comprehensive, introduction to the use of ultrasound, providing detailed assessment of the urogenital system.

This extensively illustrated guide is the first English-language text to present a comprehensive analysis of the sonographic aspects of abdominal transplantation. The book provides full coverage of the entire process, from initial assessment to the peri-operative period and long-term follow-up. It gives you essential information on color doppler ultrasound and other imaging techniques which are crucial to the early detection of complications.

With each chapter written by a leading expert in that particular subspecialty, the book begins with general background information and techniques, then goes on to address imaging procedures used in transplantation for the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and small bowel. Ultrasound, as opposed to CT or MRI, is the primary imaging modality utilized for both preliminary investigations and interventional procedures.

Ultrasound of Abdominal Transplantation is an invaluable professional resource for all radiologists, sonographers, surgeons, and physicians who need an insight into techniques of transplant ultrasound as well as an overview of the related medical and surgical management issues.
