Synopses & Reviews
Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy, Second Edition presents a systematic, step-by-step introduction to normal sectional anatomy of the abdominal and pelvic organs and thyroid gland, essential for recognizing the anatomic landmarks and variations seen on ultrasound. Its convenient, double-page format, with more than 250 image quartets showing ultrasound images on the left and explanatory drawings on the right, is ideal for rapid comprehension. In addition, each image is accompanied by a line drawing indicating the position of the transducer on the body and a 3-D diagram demonstrating the location of the scanning plane in each organ.
Special features:
More than 60 new ultrasound images in the second edition that were obtained with state-of-the-art equipment for the highest quality resolution A helpful foundation on standard sectional planes for abdominal scanning, with full-color photographs demonstrating probe placement on the body and diagrams of organs shown Front and back cover flaps displaying normal sonographic dimensions of organs for easy reference
Covering all relevant anatomic markers, measurable parameters, and normal values, and including both transverse and longitudinal scans, this pocket-sized reference is an essential learning tool for medical students, radiology residents, ultrasound technicians, and medical sonographers.
Synopsis
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.
