“Hailed for its design and clinical focus, this book is poised to stimulate critical thinking among its transatlantic audience” (Hazel Edwards, Senior Sonographer, Lister Hospital, Stevenage). Arranged by clinical problem rather than body system, the Clinical Guide to Sonography helps you swiftly locate information pertinent to the patient’s reported symptoms. This unique structure delves into various pathologies linked to a patient’s symptoms, and is enriched with illustrations and sonograms that depict each pathology.
The book is categorically divided into five major sections: abdomen, obstetrics, gynecology, superficial structures, and a miscellaneous section encompassing pediatric and vascular clinical indications. Each chapter within these sections zeroes in on a clinical indication, and includes relevant background information, a clinical scenario, discussions of pathologies and differential diagnoses, illustrations, sonograms, patient scenarios with multiple choice and case-based questions to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the content.
