In the hands of a skilled operator, ultrasound scanning is a simple and easy procedure. However, reaching that level of proficiency can be a long and tedious process. Commended by the British Medical Association, Practical Ultrasound, Second Edition focuses on the scans regularly encountered in a busy ultrasound department and provides everything practitioners need to know to become competent and skilled in scanning. 
See What’s New in the Second Edition: <ul><ul>
<li>New chapters on breast, musculoskeletal, and FAST (focused assessment with sonography in trauma) ultrasonography </li> <li>Revisions to original chapters incorporating up-to-date techniques and protocols </li> </ul></ul>
Beginning with the general principles of ultrasound scanning and a guide to using the ultrasound machine, the book provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform scans supplemented by high-quality images and handy tips. Organized according to anatomical site, the chapters include a review section on useful anatomy, scan protocol presented step by step, and a section on common pathology. Maintaining the popular format of the previous edition, each chapter contains examples of common and clinically relevant pathologies and notes on the salient features of these conditions. The authors’ precise approach puts an immense amount of knowledge within easy reach, making it an ideal aid for learning the practicalities of ultrasound.

Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide, Second Edition

Technology has advanced greatly in the past twenty years and the use and efficiency of ultrasounds has also increased. Despite this, practical instruction in ultrasounds does not feature heavily in basic doctor training. This in turn leaves many doctors and trainee specialists unsure of how to employ ultrasound for their patients, as well as how to read them properly. Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide is here to solve that problem; packed full of illustrations and scans, it employs a four step practical guide in the use and reading of ultrasounds. Focusing on different anatomical areas and conditions specific to those body parts, each chapter uses a combination of illustrations and scans to provide a step-by-step guide to what to look for and where to find it: step 1 - where to put the probe; step 2 - instructions to operator; step 3 - schematic of what is seen in the scan; and step 4 - the scan. "Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide" is a must have for trainee radiologists, ultrasonographers and for all of those passing on diagnostic information to patients.

The optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging poses a constant challenge as the technology is continually and rapidly advancing. This leaves the MR practitioner, beginner or experienced, in constant need of up-to-date, easily read and well illustrated material presenting the clinical constellation of pathologies as seen by an MRI scanner in such an effective way. MRI of the Whole Body sets out to educate trainee and experienced radiologists, radiographers and clinicians regarding key sequences for optimal imaging of common pathologies, with simple explanations on the choice of a particular MR sequence. The authors present typical and representative examples with relevant clinical and imaging features to assist a better understanding of these commonly encountered conditions. Every unit begins with a quick anatomy review, and each case is described in a standardised format with a clinical background, key sequences, imaging features, and practical hints as to close differentials and ways to distinguish between them. A text of this nature is essential for all MR practitioners whatever their background: medical, technical or scientific. Key features: <ul>
<li>First of its kind as no other book covers all body systems in one volume with demonstration of all key imaging sequences in the commonly diagnosed pathologies</li> <li>Up-to-date sequences described with reasons for choosing a particular sequence for a particular case</li> <li>Simplified relevant MR anatomy preceding each unit</li> <li>Clear high resolution images with appropriate legends</li> <li>Practical hints and tips section included for each pathology - close differentials and what to do next</li>
</ul>
Written in a simple, lucid format and accompanied by typical illustrations to each case MRI of the Whole Body is an essential guide to understanding the 'what's, 'why's and 'how's of applied MR. It will be of particular value to trainee and practicing radiologists, as well as MR radiographers and radiography students.
