This atlas comprehensively covers the use of basic ultrasound (US) scanning technologies to recognize both normal and pathologic states. It covers how to use US for soft tissue diagnosis, assessing cardiac function, pericardial effusion, tamponade, peripheral veins, gallbladder, bowel, kidneys, skull, sinuses, eye, pleura, scrotum and testes.
Atlas of Handheld Ultrasound provides detailed clinically relevant examples of how US can be used to aid diagnosis across a wide range of medical disciplines. Chapters are formatted in a clear and easy-to-follow format, with a range of interactive material to aid the reader in developing a deep understanding of how to use and interpret US correctly. It therefore provides a critical resource on how to use the modality for both specialist and non-specialist practitioners.
“I believe that it is squarely aimed at the non-specialist, not just doctors, but also nurses, physiotherapists, and indeed anyone who wishes to incorporate ultrasound into their routine clinical practice. ... I feel that this book would be useful as an introductory text for the busy clinician who is learning POCUS.” (Dan Bell, RAD Magazine, August, 2019)
“This book might be of relatively modest interest to anesthesiologists. … the Atlas of Handheld Ultrasonographyis a useful reference for point-of-care ultrasonography in the critical care and emergency medicine settings. To this end, the book’s image-based style lends itself well to an e-book format, to be consulted at the point of care.” (Marco Baciarello, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 128 (5), May, 2019)
