Product Description

This book is a comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Each chapter of the second section provides an introduction on clinical anatomy and the essentials of clinical history and physical examination. Thereafter, performance of the ultrasound study is explained and the normal and pathological anatomy is reviewed. To assist in understanding, the ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book contains a wealth of invaluable information.

  • Rating Tour de force in MSK ultrasoun  Apr 19, 2008 (7 of 8 found this helpful)

    This book is a tour de force in MSK ultrasound. The authors comprehensively cover this expanding area of a technically driven field. Logically presented with multiple diagrams and images. Easy to read and well referenced. The normal anatomical section prior to pathology presentation prepares the reader for comparision between normal and abnormal imaging. This manual must be considered the gold standard reference. A must for those who have an interest in sono-anatomy, rehabilitaitve ultrasound imaging and through to the Diagnostic ultrasound imaging sonographer or radiologist. Consider this a must for ultrasound imaging

  • Rating the best book of musculoskeletal ultrasound  Feb 10, 2008 (7 of 8 found this helpful)

    An excellent textbook of musculoskeletal ultrasound, maybe the best one in its category. Incredible drawings with anatomic explanations, didatic descriptions of the several orthopedic and rheumatologic pathologies. Really different from what has been written about MSK ultrasound until now.

  • Rating an excellent text  Nov 9, 2009 

    This is a very fine book, meticulously produced. It contains a wealth of information, presented in a lucid manner. The illustrations are exquisite. It is the perfect text for any physician or technologist engaged in ultrasound examination of the musculoskeletal system.
