'… this atlas achieves its goal to be a helpful pocket reference, rather than a textbook. There are few other such texts available for musculoskeletal imaging, with larger volumes serving as a much more comprehensive works carrying a much greater price. The book is suitable for the intended readership, both for the experienced and inexperienced practitioner, as a basis for ultrasound review of the musculoskeletal system.' Ultrasound

Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Anatomy provides an essential grounding in normal ultrasound anatomy, enabling the reader to assess whether anatomy is disrupted through injury or disease. The book is structured systematically, with all commonly imaged areas illustrated by high quality ultrasound scans with accompanying concise descriptive text. Features of the second edition: • Over 100 individual anatomical descriptions • Numerous new images from the latest generation ultrasound machines • Improved surface anatomy diagrams indicating limb and probe optimal positions for each area of anatomy • Numerous radiographic anatomical diagrams showing ultrasound probe overlying the anatomical structure for improved visual understanding Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Anatomy appeals to a wide range of practitioners who need to visualize the musculoskeletal system to diagnose injuries or locate blood vessels or nerves while undertaking clinical procedures. Radiologists, sonographers, anaesthetists, physiotherapists, rheumatologists, and orthopaedic surgeons will find this an invaluable practical reference.
