Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy

Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy (Flexibook)
Berthold Block(Author)

Editorial Reviews Review What initially makes the book especially attractive is its practical presentation. It is a paperback flexibook which constitutes a genuine pocket guide and its design is well adapted: for each organ, ultrasound images are showed on the left-hand page with the corresponding colored explanatory drawings on the right-hand page. These illustrations are accompanied by small drawings demonstrating the location of the transducer on the body and a 3D diagram showing the location of the scanning plane in the organ. The ultrasound images are numerous, all of high quality, and the drawings very clear and pedagogical. In addition, the normal sonographic dimensions of the organs presented in this book are summed up on the fold-out flap inside the front and the back cover, which is very easy-to-use. To conclude, this pleasant, brilliant, richly colored, and well-presented pocket guide is of the greatest interest for learning (and revising) the ultrasound anatomy of the abdomen and the thyroid gland. As a result, it will be of use to the beginners in sonography as well as more experienced radiologists and other physicians dealing with this field of imaging.–Surgical and Radiologic AnatomyA useful book for beginning sonographers, those preparing for examinations and those involved in teaching student sonographers in the area of abdominal sonography.–ASUM Ultrasound Bulletin From the Back Cover This brilliant pocket guide helps you to grasp the connection between three-dimensional organ systems and their two-dimensional representation in ultrasound imaging. Through dynamic illustrations and clarifying text, it allows you to: – Recognize, name, and confidently locate all organs, landmarks, and anatomical details of the abdomen -Examine all standard planes, including transverse and longitudinal scans for regions of sonographic interest (including the thyroid gland) – Understand topographic relationships of organs and structures in all three spatial planes This invaluable text is ideal for the beginner, providing a rapid orientation to all key topics. It includes: – Over 250 fully labeled image quartets, each showing: the preferred location of the transducer on the body; the resulting image; a labeled drawing of the image, keyed to anatomic structures; and a small 3-D drawing showing the location of the scanning plane in the organ. – Body markers with information on transducer handling and positioning for each sonogram – Over 250 rules of thumb and key concepts – All relevant landmarks, measurable parameters, and normal values Packed with beautiful graphics and precise text, this is the essential resource that anyone involved in ultrasound radiography needs.
