Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Anatomy And Technique
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Proper ultrasound examination and interpretation hinges on thorough knowledge of the relevant anatomy, artifacts, and technique. This book provides an excellent foundation by going beyond pathology and concentrating on these fundamentals. Basic physics and artifact recognition and prevention are outlined. Chapters review essential anatomy and include images and tables that highlight relevant bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Sites of attachment and the best positions for examination are also noted. Technique is presented via a three-tiered approach and photographs of patients in the transducer position are matched with the resulting ultrasound images and complementary anatomical overlays.

Concise knowledge offered. I am an Orthopaedic Surgeon new to Musculoskeletal Ultrasound - and this book is exactly what is needed. No long winded descriptions but a specific methodology on what can and can't be done. Very helpfull for a beginner and most probs the only book you will need in this field - unless U're into research!

I really like the text and layout of this book. Very instructive for beginner to intermediate sonographer. However, the print quality of the US images are relatively poor. The images themselves are probably perfectly good, but they look like photocopies instead of high quality prints. Maybe I just received a bad printing. The anatomy pictures are very nice, high resolution, glossy print, and very easy to interpret. I hope that in future printings, the publishers will make the US images higher quality.
