Ultrasonography Of The Eye And Orbit

Considered the definitive text in its field, revisions of the 2nd Edition reflect the latest advances in new technologies and most recent uses of ultrasound for intraocular and orbital lesions. Additional chapters delve into the use of high resolution ultrasound in identifying inflammatory diseases, tumors and glaucoma as well as color Doppler for diagnosing vascular disease. New illustrations in examination chapters will more fully explain and demonstrate techniques making this the most comprehensive source available. Features 5 brand-new chapters: Inflammatory Diseases of the Eye, Glaucoma, Ultrasound Biomicroscopy of the Eye, Three-Dimensional Ultrasound of the Eye, and Color Doppler Imaging of the Eye and Orbit. Offers expanded discussions of axial eye length measurements-the most common use for ultrasound in ophthalmology. Includes a new, 4-page color insert that highlights color Doppler findings. Revises both information and illustrations for the most up-to-date examples in the field.

Written by well-known leaders in ophthalmic ultrasonography, this volume is a complete guide to the use of ultrasound as a primary diagnostic tool in ophthalmology. This thoroughly revised Second Edition reflects the latest developments in three-dimensional ultrasound and other advanced technologies and the expanding clinical role of ultrasound, including its use in refractive surgery, post-LASIK evaluation, and neuro-ophthalmology. Coverage includes detailed chapters on ocular diagnosis, orbital diagnosis, and very high-frequency digital ultrasound scanning in LASIK and phakic intraocular lenses. More than 200 full-color, two-color, and black-and-white illustrations complement the text. A bound-in DVD contains video clips of patient ultrasound examinations.

This book offers a comprehensive resource for imaging the feline patient, with an emphasis on the unique considerations of imaging cats.

Incorporating more than 1750 high-quality images, it is an invaluable reference for any veterinary practitioner with a significant feline caseload. Feline Diagnostic Imaging begins with information on the radiographic evaluation of the thorax, abdomen, and musculoskeletal structures, including normal anatomy and pathology, followed by a review of common echocardiographic and abdominal ultrasound findings and abnormalities. Advanced imaging of the skull using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging cases of brain and spinal disease are also included. The book: Provides imaging information specifically tailored to the particular needs of cats Emphasizes the modalities most commonly used in general practice, with some discussion of advanced imaging Gives a complete overview of diagnostic imaging for the feline patients Includes tips and tricks for the unique considerations of working with cats Presents essential information for any practitioner treating feline patients Offering a feline focus not found in other imaging books, Feline Diagnostic Imaging is an essential purchase for veterinarians wishing to improve their diagnostic imaging skills in cats. It’s also an excellent guide for veterinary radiologists, and veterinary students and residents.

This book is a practical, step-by-step guide to examination techniques in ophthalmic ultrasound. It is primarily aimed at the busy ophthalmologist performing this investigation as part of the management of his or her own patient. It is also an introductory manual for ophthalmologists, radiologists, radiographers, and other health workers interested in this field, or planning to perform echography on a regular basis.

This book provides a visual overview of how to master ultrasonography and ultrasound biomicroscopy techniques. Updated ultrasonic information is included in a simple brief way, featuring didactic points, with a variety of documented scans and illustrated lines underneath for more clarification. Each pathology is accompanied with several scans of different findings to give more information of distinct detections. Ophthalmic Ultrasonography and Ultrasound Biomicroscopy: A Clinical Guide examines many clinical complexities with possible solutions when performing and interpreting ultrasound while also breaking down information for easier intake. The clinical cases are from a specialist eye hospital where many complicated cases are treated, giving a unique insight for the reader to understand treatment for a variety of cases. The book also emphasises the importance of everyday cases with further explanation whilst utilising a diversity of pictures and labels.

The second editon of this popular ultrasound book expands the reader's understanding of the clinical applications of ocular ultrasound through a case study approach. With the addition of high-quality video segments of examination techniques not currently available in any other format, this edition appeals to a broader range of practitioners in the field by presenting the subject starting at the basic level and progressing to the advanced. The book is appealing to practitioners involved in ocular ultrasound, including ophthalmic technicians, ophthalmologists, optometrists, radiologists and emergency room physicians who, on occasion, are involved in the practice of ophthalmic ultrasound.

This pocket manual is designed to guide medical professionals in acquiring skills in basic ultrasound imaging. It describes the most common scans performed at the patient’s bedside, specifically in the emergency department or intensive care unit. Following an overview of basic ultrasound principles, the use of this modality to visualize specific organ systems is described. In a quick-reference bulleted format, each chapter details indications, basic techniques (patient position, organ windows/views), probe placement, anatomy, pathology, pearls, and key points in ultrasound imaging. The extensive collection of images helps orient the reader in interpreting the scans, depicts anatomic landmarks, and identifies key pathologic findings for each organ system. Clinical Ultrasound: A Pocket Manual is an accessible guide to performing bedside ultrasound imaging for emergency medicine physicians, primary care physicians, critical care medicine providers, residents, and medical students.
