Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

A comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book will acquaint beginners with the basics of musculoskeletal ultrasound, while more advanced sonologists and sonographers will learn new skills, means of avoiding pitfalls, and ways of effectively relating the ultrasound study to the clinical background.

This book is a tour de force in MSK ultrasound. The authors comprehensively cover this expanding area of a technically driven field. Logically presented with multiple diagrams and images. Easy to read and well referenced. The normal anatomical section prior to pathology presentation prepares the reader for comparision between normal and abnormal imaging. This manual must be considered the gold standard reference. A must for those who have an interest in sono-anatomy, rehabilitaitve ultrasound imaging and through to the Diagnostic ultrasound imaging sonographer or radiologist. Consider this a must for ultrasound imagingJohnson McEvoyBSc, MSc, MISCP, MCSP, PTChartered PhysiotherapistIreland

An excellent textbook of musculoskeletal ultrasound, maybe the best one in its category. Incredible drawings with anatomic explanations, didatic descriptions of the several orthopedic and rheumatologic pathologies. Really different from what has been written about MSK ultrasound until now.

A practical and very well written guide to MSK Ultrasound.A very comprehensive text.Many images and illustrations of probe placement to image various structures.All extremity joints have full coverage-both of normal anatomy and pathology. The opening chapters on the skin,tendons,muscles and nerves lays the foundation for the later chapters that explore each area in great depth.It was until I recognized the brachial nerve as I was doing an upper extremity venous Doppler,did my appreciation of this text begin to snowball.Along with the free smart phone downloads by the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology "Technical Guidelines" in PDF, I believe that the practitioner is equipped with all they need to gain proficiency-leaving -leaving only experience and curiosity for the user to add.

This is the best US book that I have found. Not only do the authors carefully describe the normal and pathologic US anatomy as visualized on scans but they provide a thorough review of anatomy. I think the anatomical descriptions, illustrations, correlations with CT and MRI are better than what I see in most anatomy texts. A must have if you do a lot of clinical US of MSK system.

I think there's no need to say with lengthy writing.It covers anatomy in details, simple but major P/E and Hx, critical X-ray and MRI findings and invasive procedure under US guide. Could feel little bit huge and there are so many other books thinner. But, it was written with easy english so that you never feel it's heavy or huge once you get started.I have 5 books that deals musculoskeletal Ultrasound. I can give my thumb to this book without any hesitancy.These days people tries to cover spine and para spine structures such as thoracic, lumbar part.I think it's controversial yet and it could show up in the next version of this book.

This complete and well written text does very well in incapsulating the practice of musculoskeletal ultrasound. The ultrasound images are crisp, the anatomic dissections beautiful, and the text easily understood. My only desire would be a set of Internet videos of the same anatomy and interventional procedures using ultrasound guidance.

This is a very fine book, meticulously produced. It contains a wealth of information, presented in a lucid manner. The illustrations are exquisite. It is the perfect text for any physician or technologist engaged in ultrasound examination of the musculoskeletal system.Murray Miskin, M.D., F.R.C.P.(c)

If you are interested in musculoskeletal ultrasound, this book must obtain to do.I think it's a masterpiece!Normally anatomy and patologies, widely knowledge and tecnical procedures.
