Description
It is an honor to present to you the sixth edition of Diagnostic Ultrasound. As in previous editions, we have included experts in the field to share their authoritative experience. Given the nature of ultrasound practice, which in radiology departments is moving toward a more body imaging/organ-based approach, this edition has been expanded to include correlative imaging. It is thus a substantial update from previous versions. We have also greatly expanded our video library to enable real-time examples of anatomy and pathology . Previous editions have been very well accepted reference textbooks and have been the commonly used reference in ultrasound education and practices worldwide. The text and references have all been updated and are available online. We are pleased to provide over 2,300 images, along with 657 videos of ultrasound anatomy and pathology, which complement the static images in the book. The display of real-time ultrasound has helped to capture those areas of anatomy that are difficult to depict on a still image. The video sweeps also allow a more complete depiction of pathology and the relationship of pathology to surrounding anatomy . Another new feature of this book is incorporating artifacts into the physics chapter, which allows the reader to better appreciate the relationship between the creation of images and the artifacts that help define intrinsic details of tissue.41 outstanding new and 43 continuing authors have contributed to this edition, and all are recognized experts in the field of ultrasound.
