Clinical Guide to Sonography, 2nd Edition
Paperback
Organized by clinical problem rather than by body system, Clinical Guide to Sonography enables students in laboratory course and clinical rotations to quickly find information related to the symptom being reported by the patient who is about to be scanned. This unique approach discusses various pathologies that may be related to a patient's symptoms, and features illustrations with sonograms that demonstrate each pathology or differential diagnosis. The book is divided into five major sections: abdomen, obstetrics, gynecology, superficial structures, and a miscellaneous section to include pediatric and vascular clinical indications Each chapter within those sections focuses on a clinical indication, and incorporates background information, a clinical scenario, discussions of pathologies and differential diagnoses, illustrations, sonograms, patient scenarios with multiple choice and case-based questions to ensure students have a solid understanding of the material.
