Since Talbot’s first successful application of real-time ultrasonography to the venous system in 1981, the techniques of venous imaging have been refined and validated by numerous studies. Now venous imaging challenges contrast venography as the definitive procedure of choice. Here for the first time these techniques are explained and illustrated in step-by-step detail by the leaders who developed them.

What are the protocols for imaging the veins of the extremities? How do you overcome both common and unusual problems to optimize the image and ensure valid, unequivocal results? Exactly what roles are played by venous compression and venous Doppler in the ultrasonographic venous examination? How do you identify and characterize thrombus? How do you differentiate venous thrombosis from conditions that mimic it? What does Doppler color flow imaging add to the evaluation? How can you take advantage of it? Why is the transverse scan with probe compression an essential component of the venous imaging technique? How and why do you map the saphenous vein? And how accurate is this ultrasound technique in relation to contrast venography on the one hand and indirect noninvasive tests on the other?

These and many more questions are answered here in detail and with authority. Part II covers venographic and magnetic resonance imaging.

Videotape Companion

Perfect for training and as an adjunct to this book, this one-hour video offers hands-on demonstration of venous imaging techniques and real-time images of normal, abnormal, common, and uncommon findings. Available in DVD format.

New and unique, this very well-illustrated book by Charlotte Henningsen and 28 contributing experts explains ultrasound as it is practiced—by clinical scenario, including presenting complaints, patient symptoms, rule-out orders, and the like. Rather than chapters on organ systems, here ultrasound is presented as it is practiced in real life by real sonographers dealing with real problems: right upper quadrant pain, lost IUD, hematuria, breast mass, neck mass, uncertain last menstrual period, bleeding with pregnancy, pulsatile abdominal mass, epigastric pain, R/O renal failure, pediactric mass, etc.

The book is divided into four main parts—Abdomen, Gynecology, Obstetrics, and Superficial Structures—and covers them thoroughly. Substantial chapters on breast ultrasound and neonatal neurosonography will please registry candidates, students, and practitioners alike. So will the last section on miscellaneous clinical situations and conditions, including carotid artery disease, hip dysplasia, and leg pain.

Each chapter begins, proceeds, and concludes in the same clinically relevant format:

Clinical scenario

Objectives

Glossary of terms

Pathological conditions

Sonographic findings

Case studies for discussion

Study questions

References and Bibliography

Reader-friendly tables and boxed information highlight key concepts and information, and a wealth of images and schematic illustrations clarify sonographic anatomy and findings.

The fetal heart is considered to be the most important and difficult part of fetal examination. This practical and emphatically clinical book and the DVD that comes with it enable the reader first to determine whether the heart is normal or not, and then, if not, to diagnose the type of cardiac abnormality. To provide the skills and methodology to do this, the book covers basic anatomy and embryology and explains what to look for, as well as why and how. It also describes associated pathology (e.g. chromosomal abnormalities, syndromes), which the sonographer must know once a cardiac abnormality has been found.

Here is what you will find in this powerful combination of book and DVD:
