Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a comprehensive atlas, employing over 3600 3D ultrasound images to evaluate musculoskeletal pathologies.The book is divided into 13 chapters covering the high resolution musculoskeletal sonography technique of muscles, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, bones, peripheral nerve, musculoskeletal infections, soft tissue masses, swollen lower limb, and high resolution sonography of musculoskeletal emergencies. Also featured are discussions on neurophysiological abnormalities and high resolution ultrasound as a non-invasive modality for the evaluation of musculoskeletal infections. A separate chapter evaluates soft tissue masses in the musculoskeletal system, along with the description of ultrasound-guided FNAC for establishing the final diagnosis.Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound will help radiologists, orthopaedicians and physicians to understand how high resolution ultrasound can be used as an excellent modality in musculoskeletal emergency conditions, and how it is useful for differentiating between cellulitis and abscess, necrotizing fasciitis, cutaneous masses. Key PointsOver 3600 3D ultrasound images in full colourAssists physicians in using ultrasound to guide final diagnosisChapters divided to focus on specific parts of the body

This fourth edition has been fully revised to provide radiologists with the most up to date ultrasound images and information for diagnosing and treating disorders in various crucial organs.Fifteen sections present more than 3500 high resolution sonographic images in the eye and orbit, face, salivary gland, gastrointestinal system, prostate, genitalia, peripheral chest, and much more.The book has been completely rewritten and includes new chapters on face, sperm transport system, ambiguous genitalia and intersex. More than 70% of the images have been replaced with new images using 3D multiplanar tomographic ultrasound imaging.Each topic covers both common and less common pathologies, and CT and MRI images are also included to enhance understanding.Key PointsFully revised, fourth edition providing more than 3500 high resolution sonographic images of small partsIncludes new chapters on face, sperm transport system, ambiguous genitalia and intersexMore than 70% of images replaced by 3D multiplanar tomographic ultrasound imagingPrevious edition (9780071485838) published in 2007
