Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

TEXTBOOK OF DIAGNOSTIC SONOGRAPHYPrinciples, Instrumentation, Scanning Technique and Clinical ApplicationsBuild a strong foundation in diagnostic sonography with Textbook of Diagnostic Sonography, a comprehensive reference designed to connect ultrasound physics and instrumentation with practical scanning technique and clinical application.This textbook begins with the fundamentals every sonographer needs to understand, including ultrasound physics, transducers, instrumentation, image optimization, Doppler principles, artifacts, and ultrasound safety. It then progresses through major areas of clinical sonography, providing structured coverage of abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, small-parts, vascular, and cardiac examinations.The book also explores point-of-care and emergency ultrasound, pediatric and neonatal sonography, and advanced techniques including contrast-enhanced ultrasound, elastography, 3D/4D imaging, artificial intelligence, and ultrasound-guided intervention.Throughout the chapters, emphasis is placed on understanding anatomy, scanning approaches, normal sonographic appearances, common pathology, interpretation, and practical considerations. The book also addresses professional practice topics such as quality assurance, ergonomics, ethics, communication, and structured reporting.Key Features- Comprehensive coverage of diagnostic sonography from foundational principles to advanced applications- Clear explanations of ultrasound physics, instrumentation, Doppler, artifacts, and image optimization- Detailed coverage of abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, vascular, cardiac, breast, thyroid, and musculoskeletal sonography- Dedicated chapters on point-of-care, emergency, pediatric, and neonatal ultrasound- Practical discussion of advanced technologies including elastography, contrast ultrasound, 3D/4D imaging, AI, and intervention- Learning objectives and key points to support focused study- Clinical cases that connect concepts with real-world practice- Multiple-choice questions with explained answers for self-assessment- Glossaries, comparison tables, formulas, clinical pearls, pitfalls, safety alerts, and references for further readingDesigned for sonography students, medical and nursing students, physician assistant students, and primary care practitioners, this textbook provides a structured foundation for learning how diagnostic ultrasound works, how examinations are performed, and how sonographic findings are applied in clinical practice.Whether used for classroom study, examination preparation, supervised clinical training, or as a reference during continued professional development, Textbook of Diagnostic Sonography is designed to help readers develop a deeper understanding of both the technology and the clinical reasoning behind diagnostic ultrasound.
