Atlas Of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Of The Extremities

"Featuring nearly 1,200 illustrations, images, and photos, Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities by Dr. Mohini Rawat is a comprehensive visual guide to musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging for health care students and clinicians. Musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging is a new, rapidly growing field with applications across many health care disciplines. With its increased popularity comes a need for detailed training resources. The Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities presents information on scanning protocols for the joint regions and peripheral nerves of the upper and lower extremities in an easy-to-follow, highly visual format. Beginning with an overview of ultrasound physics, equipment, terminology, and technique, the book provides detailed instruction for musculoskeletal ultrasound of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and foot concluding with a comprehensive chapter on peripheral nerves. Each chapter contains detailed images of scanning protocols, anatomy, sonoanatomy, patient positioning, and probe positioning for each joint region. Images are accompanied by explanatory text descriptions, along with clinical pearls under points to remember. Designed for students and clinicians in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, orthopedics, rheumatology, physiatry and podiatry, the Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities provides essential introductory training materials and serves as a helpful reference for busy clinical environments"--

Straightforward commentary and 750 illustrations - including sonograms and line drawings - combine to make this book an authoritative review of high-definition ultrasonography in diagnosing musculoskeletal pathology of the extremities. This innovative, applications-oriented guide systematically covers: State-of-the-art instrumentation and examination techniques, with expert advice on probe positioning Common technical problems, diagnostic pitfalls, and useful preventive and corrective actions Normal and pathologic ultrasound findings for muscle, tendon, ligament, periosteum and bone, joint capsule, bursa and synovium, cartilage, vessel, nerves, fat, and skin Pathologic regional ultrasound findings for the shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle, and foot A wide range of specific diagnostic applications, including diagnosis of tendon tears, hematomas, fractures, joint effusions, foreign bodies, and more

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 Points Over 3600 3D ultrasound images in full colour Assists physicians in using ultrasound to guide final diagnosis Chapters divided to focus on specific parts of the body

Concise atlas providing an essential grounding in normal musculoskeletal ultrasound anatomy, showing ultrasound scans and accompanying anatomical line figures.

This spectacular cross-sectional atlas provides a roadmap of normal sonographic anatomy of the musculoskeletal system with optimized images that emphasize spatial relationships and three-dimensional orientation. The book is designed to help novices acquire pattern recognition skills to resolve images into their anatomic components by pairing ultrasound scans with cross-sectional drawings. It will enhance familiarity with musculoskeletal anatomy as it appears on ultrasound imaging for practitioners at any level. Using a sectioned approach, the authors present a visual baseline for evaluating tendon, muscle, ligament, and nerve problems in the upper extremity, lower extremity, and cervical regions. Multiple high resolution views of each structure are accompanied by original illustrations that document the structures in the sonograph and serve as a reference to decipher the image and foster understanding of anatomic relationships and ultrasound appearances. The atlas is an indispensable tool for clinicians learning diagnostic ultrasound, as they can use the anatomical images for comparisons with their own scans. For the seasoned practitioner, the organized format with high-resolution examples makes this an essential reference for confirming exam findings. Key Features: Orients users to anatomical relationships best seen in cross section and necessary to effective utilization of diagnostic ultrasound Over 150 ultrasound images cover musculoskeletal anatomy from the shoulder to the foot Each ultrasound image has a correlative drawing in cross-sectional or regional format with the scanned area depicted within a highlighted frame to enhance understanding of the scanned anatomy. Each image is accompanied by a body icon illustrating the level of the scan for each region Brief text points and legends emphasize key features and landmarks and offer technical tips for obtaining and interpreting scans.

This atlas, the only book of its kind, uses 3600 images adn concise, explanatory text to teach key diagnostic features of conditions found in ultrasound images of the musculoskeletal system and small parts.

A Practical Guide to Sonography of the Extremities is the foundational text to performing MSK scanning. Identifying normal anatomy is pre-requisite to diagnosing pathology and using ultrasound for injection guidance. This full-color, easy-to-follow guide is designed to introduce the physcian, medical sonographer, and other healthcare providers to complete scanning protocols.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is an increasingly widely used technique, but relatively few centres undertake enough scanning to have developed the requisite level of expertise and anatomical knowledge. This book is aimed at the radiology trainee, the practising radiologist with an interest in musculoskeletal work, sonographers and other clinicians in related disciplines such as orthopaedics and sports medicine, who are getting more directly involved in ultrasound at a 'hands-on' level. It aims to provide the reader with the essential grounding in normal ultrasound anatomy that they require in order to be able to assess when this anatomy is disrupted through injury and/or disease. The book will be structured systemically, each anatomical area of interest being covered by high quality ultrasound scans and accompanying, concise text. Around 100 individual anatomical descriptions are included in total and the ultrasound images presented would be a mixture of axial, sagital or coronal, to best illustrate the anatomy being described.; Wherever possible, unlabelled versions of each scan will be set alongside anatomically labelled versions for clarity, and MR images are occasionally used for comparative puropses throughout the book.
