Ecografia dell’Apparato Muscolo-Scheletrico
Ultrasound is the first-line examination for tendon, joint and muscle injuries, whether traumatic or non-traumatic. Mastering this technique is demanding and requires continuous training.
This book is a practical reference in the field. It is structured as a training manual organized by structures and organs: muscles, tendons, nerves and plexuses, shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers, hip, knee, ankle, hindfoot and foot. Each chapter begins by describing the normal appearance and anatomical characteristics of a structure or joint, an essential prerequisite for proper diagnosis. Pathologies are then discussed starting from clinical symptoms.
This extensively updated new edition includes modern imaging and clear educational diagrams of echo-anatomy. The authors also compare ultrasound with other imaging methods, offering a rational and comprehensive diagnostic approach.
The book is complemented by online videos illustrating the most common interventional procedures, including approaches, environmental conditions and precautions required before performing any invasive procedure.
This volume is intended for radiologists, sports physicians, rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons.
