Ultrasound for Surgeons

Edited by two preeminent leaders in the use of ultrasound in
surgical practice, this volume is a state-of-the-art guide to
preoperative and intraoperative applications of ultrasound. The
book familiarizes surgeons with current equipment, scanning
techniques, and interventional instrumentation and provides
detailed instruction on diagnostic and interventional ultrasound
for specific surgical diseases in each anatomic region. A major
portion of the book focuses on intraoperative, laparoscopic, and
endoscopic ultrasound in abdominal organs. Coverage also
includes ultrasound in trauma and acute care settings. Hundreds
of ultrasound images complement the text. Line drawings are used
to clarify the images where necessary.
