Ecografia un approccio pratico ai problemi clinici

Large-format volume (22 × 28 cm), 736 pages, with 1,355 illustrations, most in color. Second edition.

The primary goal of this treatise is to assist physicians in determining whether ultrasound or another imaging modality is the most appropriate choice for evaluating a given clinical problem. Unlike traditional textbooks, chapters are organized around clinical questions rather than organ systems.

The book reviews the most important clinical problems encountered in daily practice and outlines effective approaches for the use of ultrasound and other diagnostic imaging techniques. Each chapter provides practical advice on scanning techniques, basic ultrasound anatomy, and the findings associated with various pathological entities presenting with similar clinical features.

Authors also include recommendations on the use of alternative imaging modalities to resolve specific clinical issues. The result is a practical guide that helps clinicians direct imaging studies and select the most appropriate diagnostic method for each clinical scenario.

This second edition is designed as a readable and manageable reference for radiologists, internists, medical students, and healthcare practitioners, supporting the appropriate use of ultrasound in clinical decision-making.
