Ultrasound of the Musculoskeletal System

This book is 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.
Each chapter of the second section provides an introduction on clinical anatomy and the essentials of clinical history
and physical examination. Thereafter, performance of the ultrasound study is explained and the normal and pathological
anatomy is reviewed. To assist in understanding, the 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 contains a wealth of invaluable information.
