Manual of Diagnostic Ultrasound: Volume 1 & 2

When the first edition of this manual was published in 1995, it quickly established itself as a reference work. In the intervening period, the rapid developments that have occurred in both ultrasound equipment and investigative techniques, including use of ultrasonography in the therapeutic domain, have necessitated publication of a totally new edition of this manual. This manual is in two parts. Volume 1, a basic reference text covers ultrasound techniques, recognition of normal anatomical features and differential diagnosis. Volume 2 covers paediatric examinations, gynaecology and musculoskeletal examinations, as well as therapy. These new publications, which extensively cover modern diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasonography, will be of great use to medical professionals in both developed and developing countries. The authors of the individual chapters are internationally recognized experts in their fields, while the book's editors are Professor Harald T. Lutz and Professor Elisabetta Buscarini. The book is co-published by WHO and the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. REVIEW "... readable, simply written, and well organized ... (the) high quality images are ideal for less experienced practitioners ... a superb introductory text for radiology residents with no back ground in sonography and for clinicians who have an interest in the subject." - American Journal of Roentgenology
